Crystal engineering, the design of molecular solids, is the synthesis of functional solid‐state
structures from neutral or ionic building blocks, using intermolecular interactions in the …

To many, periodic mechanical conformational motion of molecules is mesmerizing to a
degree that is difficult to explain rationally: It is almost as hard to stop watching an image of …

Under topological guidance, the self‐assembly process based on a tetratopic porphyrin
synthon results in a hydrogen‐bonded organic framework (HOF) with the predicted square …

A Perspective is presented on the history and current understanding of molecular gels and
the factors that must be considered to characterize them. The abilities of the most important …

A Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) analysis was conducted in order to evaluate the
hierarchy of supramolecular heterosynthons that involve two of the most relevant functional …

Crystal structures of organic and metal-organic compounds have been determined in
enormous numbers over the past century, and at the time of writing this review, the …

This chapter discusses the phenomenon of polymorphism in organic and organometallic
compounds. Polymorphism is first introduced and then, to give the work some context …

Interpenetration in extended three-dimensional (3D) arrays has been investigated by a
systematic analysis of the crystallographic structural databases, using an ad hoc version of …

Two novel Cu (II) complexes,[Cu2L2 (μ1. 1-N3) 2](1) and [Cu2L2 (μ1. 1-CH3COO−) 2]·
2H2O (2), have been synthesized using a tridentate NNO donor Schiff base ligand, 2 …

Our research group has been interested in synthesis of proton transfer compounds as new
supramolecular synthons for the onepot preparation of self-assembled transition metal …
