چکیده
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.

Synthesis, Characterization and Crystal Structure of Caffeine Complex of Mn(II) p-Hydroxybenzoate
A new manganese(II) complex containing p-hydroxybenzoate and caffeine ligands, namely [Mn(OH-C6H4COO)2(H2O)4].2(C8H10N4O2).8H2O has been prepared. The synthesized complex has been characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and m...
متن کاملProtein engineering.
The prospects for protein engineering, including the roles of x-ray crystallography, chemical synthesis of DNA, and computer modelling of protein structure and folding, are discussed. It is now possible to attempt to modify many different properties of proteins by combining information on crystal structure and protein chemistry with artificial gene synthesis. Such techniques offer the potential...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of Nonaaquayttrium(III) Bromate at 100 K
The structure of the nonaaquayttrium (III) bromate, [Y(H2O)9](BrO3)3, at low temperature (100 K) has been studied by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallography shows a hexagonal unit cell, space group P63/mmc (No. 194) with Z = 2, a = b = 11.7104(11) Å, c = 6.6259(5) Å and V = 786.90(12) Å3 at 100 K. The hydra...
متن کاملCrystal engineering: a holistic view.
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 design strategy. Hydrogen bonds, coordination bonds, and other less directed interactions define substructural patterns, referred to in the literature as supramolecular synthons and secondary building units. Cr...
متن کاملCharge density analysis for crystal engineering
This review reports on the application of charge density analysis in the field of crystal engineering, which is one of the most growing and productive areas of the entire field of crystallography. While methods to calculate or measure electron density are not discussed in detail, the derived quantities and tools, useful for crystal engineering analyses, are presented and their applications in t...
