内容説明

A substantial amount of recent research has revealed that an understanding of weak intermolecular interactions is a most important priority in the chemical sciences today. One of the many advantages to ensue from such an understanding is that improved methods for the prediction and design of organic crystal structures have become possible. Concurrently, strategies for crystal engineering have advanced to such an extent to warrant the publication of this book in which the author reviews and evaluates past developments, and comments on future possibilities. The book is intended for three distinct groups of scientists: organic chemists and materials scientists who are now coordinating their efforts in designing molecular crystals for a variety of physical and chemical applications; physical and theoretical chemists who are concerned with intermolecular interactions in organic solids; crystallographers who attempt to search for patterns in crystals and who regard the positional parameters in an X-ray analysis as the beginning rather than the end of a crystallographic narrative.
