Overview

Crystal engineering is an interdisciplinary area that cuts across the traditional subdivisions of chemistry and is fuelled by an increasingly precise understanding of the chemistry and properties of supramolecular systems. The topics discussed in the 28 contributions in this book provide a description of the field and offer new research ideas that, if pursued, will serve to strengthen the file at the interface between supramolecular chemistry and materials science.
