Details about CRYSTAL ENGINEERING: A TEXTBOOK:

This book is important because it is the first textbook in an area that has become very popular in recent times. There are around 250 research groups in crystal engineering worldwide today. The subject has been researched for around 40 years but there is still no textbook at the level of senior undergraduates and beginning PhD students. This book is expected to fill this gap. The writing style is simple, with an adequate number of exercises and problems, and the diagrams are easy to understand. This book consists major areas of the subject, including organic crystals and co-ordination polymers, and can easily form the basis of a 30 to 40 lecture course for senior undergraduates. Contents: Crystal Engineering: X-ray Crystallography Organic Solid State Chemistry The Crystal as a Supramolecular Entity Modern Crystal Engineering Summary Further Reading Problems Intermolecular Interactions: General Properties van der Waals Interactions Hydrogen Bonds Halogen Bonds Other Interactions Methods of Study of Interactions Analysis of Typical Crystal Structures Summary Further Reading Problems Crystal Design Strategies: Synthesis in Chemistry Supramolecular Chemistry The Synthon in Crystal Engineering Summary Further Reading Problems Crystallization and Crystal Growth: Crystallization of Organic Solids Nucleation Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Crystallization Crystal Growth Crystal Morphology and Habit Crystal Morphology Engineering Why is it that all Compounds don't seem to Crystallize Equally Well or Equally Quickly? Summary Further Reading Problems Polymorphism: What is Polymorphism?
