Interactions in Molecular Crystals - by Deepak Chopra (Hardcover)

About the Book

Explores how crystal structure controls performance in pharmaceuticals and advanced materials, revealing structure-property relationships to guide the design of next-generation molecular crystals.

Book Synopsis

Intermolecular interactions in molecular crystals govern a vast array of material properties--from pharmaceutical performance to mechanoresponsive behaviour, and energetic applications. This comprehensive volume explores the deterministic role of crystal structure in shaping these properties, bridging theory and practice through cutting-edge experimental and computational approaches, including inputs from crystal structure prediction, quantum crystallography, terahertz spectroscopy, and solid-state NMR.

Contributions from global experts provide deep insights into structure-property relationships across diverse systems: from cocrystals, to organic dielectrics, to molecules that exhibit mechanical compliance, including dynamical effects and reactivity in the solid state. By integrating such advancements, this book equips researchers and industry professionals with the tools to design the next generation of materials, for developments in the fields of energy and medicine.

This book serves as essential reading for postgraduate students, academics, and practitioners in chemistry and materials science, and offers a forward-looking perspective on sustainable innovation through the principles of supramolecular chemistry.
