چکیده
Crystal engineering is discussed, along with its three key concepts: crystal packing; the design of solids; and physical and chemical properties.

Crystal engineering: structure, property and beyond
Crystal engineering, which was considered to be crystal structure engineering, is now transforming into crystal property engineering. The same or similar crystal structures could have different properties while different crystal structures could have similar properties.
متن کاملTopochemical control in desolvation of coordination polymers
Reactions in the solid state are at the core of crystal engineering as they can result in new crystalline phases that are not always accessible by traditional solution methods. The work of Brammer and co-workers [Wright et al. (2015), IUCrJ, 2, 188-197] represents a clear example of this potential as applied to the synthesis of a silver-phenazine coordination polymer.
متن کاملChemical crystallography and crystal engineering
Today, there is very little doubt that chemistry owes as much to crystallography as crystallography does to chemistry. This mutual synergy defines modern chemical crystallography.
متن کاملPowder to become crystal clear
A simulation by Zhang et al. [IUCrJ (2015), 2, 322-326] has demonstrated that utilizing serial crystallography may turn one-dimensional powder diffraction from multiphase polycrystalline samples into three-dimensional single-crystal diffraction patterns.
متن کاملOn atom–atom ‘short contact’ bonding interactions in crystals1
Professor Dunitz questions the usefulness of ascribing crystalline structural stability to individual atom-atom intermolecular interactions viewed as bonding (hence stabilizing) whenever linked by a bond path. An alternative view is expressed in the present essay that articulates the validity and usefulness of the bond path concept in a crystallographic and crystal engineering context.
