Abstract
A review. Crystal engineering is a flourishing field of research in modern chem., practised by scientists with interests in the modeling, design, synthesis and applications of cryst. solids with predefined aggregations of mols. and ions. Although the subject is >30 yr old, it has evolved considerably in recent times towards the interface between the supramol. and solid state sciences. In this sense, it lies at the intersection of the top down and bottom up approaches towards materials design and prodn. Crystal engineering is, therefore, highly interdisciplinary and attracts contributions from many traditional areas: org. chem., inorg. and organometallic chem., theor. chem. and crystallog. This chapter attempts an overview with state of the art examples of crystal engineering strategies. [on SciFinder (R)]
