Interest in organic molecular solids extends to a range of fields including chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, and materials science. In chemistry, it applies to such topics as solid state reactivity, crystal engineering, theoretical approaches to crystal structure determination, and morphology control. In physics, electrical engineering, and materials science, the possibility of producing organic-based materials (such as crystals, polymers, thin films, or liquid crystals) with potential electronic, opto-electronic, and magnetic uses is a major area of current research interest throughout the world. Organic Molecular Solids examines the uses of organic-based materials over a wide range of applications and interests. Each chapter surveys a relevant topic, providing appropriate introductory background information and modern developments.

Supramolecular chemistry involves the study and synthesis of very large molecules which are used in complex chemical reactions, and have great potential in areas such as medicine, electronics, and optics. Offers a comprehensive overview of crystals and supramolecular entities.

Do you need to design syntheses that are • highly selective • fast • enantioselective with quantitative enantiomeric yield? This book describes in detail how best to exploit the enormous synthetic potential of solid state reactions. Written by leading experts, it provides in-depth information on • the theoretical and physico-chemical approach to solid state reactions • solid-to-solid organic reactions • stereoselective solid state photoreactions • reactivity and crystal structure An ideal companion to Dunitz and Burgi's'Structure Correlation', this book will be highly useful to synthetic organic chemists, stereochemists, crystallographers, and solid-state chemists
