Organic Reactions in Crystals.

Topotactic Reactions in Organic Crystals.

Crystalline organic compounds have been observed to react in a number of cases in a manner which suggests that the process is dependent on the geometry of the disposition of reactive groups in the crystal lattice. Such a process, first observed with inorganic reactions, has been designated by Kohlschuetter' as "topochemical," and several criteria may be used to show that a reaction falls into t...

Spotlights: Use of Montmorillonites in organic reactions

Maryam Mashhadinezhad was born in Rasht, Guilan, I. R. Iran. She received her B. Sc in chemistry in 2009 from the University of Guilan and her M.Sc. in organic chemistry in 2011 from the same University. She is studying under the supervision of Dr. Farhad Shirini for her Ph. D. Her research interests include the use of heterogeneous catalysts in organic reactions.

Excitons in Organic Molecular Crystals

Flexible ferroelectric organic crystals

Flexible organic materials possessing useful electrical properties, such as ferroelectricity, are of crucial importance in the engineering of electronic devices. Up until now, however, only ferroelectric polymers have intrinsically met this flexibility requirement, leaving small-molecule organic ferroelectrics with room for improvement. Since both flexibility and ferroelectricity are rare prope...
