From Molecules to Crystal Engineering:  Supramolecular Isomerism and Polymorphism in Network Solids

Moulton and Zaworotko present an overview of how advances in supramolecular chemistry have impacted the manner in which chemists view the existence of single crystals and, perhaps even more importantly, the design of new crystalline phases. X-ray crystallographic analysis has become less time consuming, relatively inexpensive, and more readily available, even for larger and/or difficult structures.
