An invaluable introduction to the developing field of molecular assemblies in the solid state which surveys several areas of current research interest. The interdisciplinary nature of this topic is highlighted with in-depth reviews of a range of diverse subject areas.
Chemists are becoming increasingly interested in the physical, biological and chemical properties of the compounds they create. With the growing interest in new materials there has been a tremendous development in the field of molecular solids. Each chapter in this book focuses on a different major research...

The theoretical aspects of crystal packing, the study of the nature and magnitude of the forces that hold molecules together in organic crystals, and of the most favourable arrangements of molecules in crystals are dealt with in this book. After an introductory chapter on the definition and relevance of symmetry in crystal packing, a chapter deals with the physical foundations of weak intermolecular forces and with their simulation by quantum chemical methods. Subsequently, the relationships between crystal structure and crystal thermodynamics are described using empirical intermolecular...
