Recent advances in crystal engineering
TLDR
The 10th edition of CrystEngComm as mentioned in this paper highlighted the state-of-the-art of crystal engineering and new trends and developing areas in crystal engineering, such as intermolecular interactions, metal-organic frameworks or coordination polymers; polymorphism and solvates.Abstract:
The articles published in the tenth anniversary issue of CrystEngComm are reviewed. The issue highlighted the state-of-the-art of crystal engineering and new trends and developing areas in crystal engineering. In particular, the following article emphasises developments in the areas of intermolecular interactions, notably hydrogen and halogen bonds; metal–organic frameworks or coordination polymers; polymorphism and solvates.read more

Mechanoresponsive Luminescent Molecular Assemblies: An Emerging Class of Materials
TL;DR: The possibility to change the molecular assembled structures of organic and organometallic materials through mechanical stimulation is emerging as a general and powerful concept for the design of functional materials, enabling the development of molecular materials with mechanoresponsive luminescence characteristics.

Functional behaviour from controlled self-assembly:Challenges and prospects
Michael D. Ward,Paul R. Raithby +1 more
TL;DR: The problems and limitations associated with achieving such behaviour in artificial multi-component assemblies is discussed, together with two examples of functions in artificial supramolecular assemblies based on (i) host-guest chemistry in cavities of cages, and (ii) light-harvesting in multi-chromophore arrays.

Molecular crystalline materials with tunable luminescent properties: from polymorphs to multi-component solids
Dongpeng Yan,David G. Evans +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of polymorphs and multi-component molecular solids has attracted considerable interest as new ways of achieving controllable luminescence and other photophysical properties for application in the next generation of photofunctional materials.

The Cambridge Structural Database: a quarter of a million crystal structures and rising
TL;DR: The Cambridge Structural Database now contains data for more than a quarter of a million small-molecule crystal structures, and projections concerning future accession rates indicate that the CSD will contain at least 500,000 crystal structures by the year 2010.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional porous coordination polymers.
TL;DR: The aim is to present the state of the art chemistry and physics of and in the micropores of porous coordination polymers, and the next generation of porous functions based on dynamic crystal transformations caused by guest molecules or physical stimuli.

TL;DR: Metal-organic framework (MOF-5), a prototype of a new class of porous materials and one that is constructed from octahedral Zn-O-C clusters and benzene links, was used to demonstrate that its three-dimensional porous system can be functionalized with the organic groups and can be expanded with the long molecular struts biphenyl, tetrahydropyrene, pyrene, and terphenyl.

Supramolecular Synthons in Crystal Engineering—A New Organic Synthesis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that crystal engineering is a new organic synthesis, and that rather than being only nominally relevant to organic chemistry, this subject is well within the mainstream, being surprisingly similar to traditional organic synthesis in concept.
