SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM ] |
|
|
The electrical, optical and magnetic
properties of solid-state materials largely depend on the
packing of molecules in the solid state. In other words, the
properties of a solid depend on the arrangement of atoms,
ions or molecules in the crystal. An understanding of the
factors governing the crystal structure enables the design
of solids for various applications in the fields of catalysis
and separation, optical, electronic, magnetic and superconductivity,
etc. Crystal Engineering is a multidisciplinary area of research
that is based on concepts that are being used in supramolecular
science and lies at the intersection of materials design and
fabrication. The symposium will focus on the design, characterization
and applications of newly engineered molecular solids, and
the study of the non-covalent and covalent interactions responsible
for their structures.

TOPICS OF INTEREST ] |
|
| Prediction
of crystal structures, polymorphism and the importance of weak
interactions; hydrogen bonds, π...π
and other weak interactions in solids; supramolecular materials;
metal coordination polymers; porous materials, catalysis and
separation; magnetic and optoelectronic materials by design;
biomaterials and biomineralisation; reactions and transformations
in solids. A separate session to honour Prof. Richard Robson
for his contribution to crystal engineering will be held. |
