The Importance of Pi-Interactions in Crystal Engineering

Written by internationally recognized researchers, this book guides crystal engineers in the types, strengths, and nature of possible intermolecular interactions. The book covers topics ranging from the identification of interactions involving p-systems, their impact on molecular and crystal structure in both organic and metallorganic systems, and how these interactions might be exploited in the design of new materials. Ideal for those working in the crystallography, medicinal, and pharmaceutical sciences, this book also provides an essential overview of non-covalent interactions involving p-systems.
