In hindsight, these two events were watershed moments for the immediate and rapid development of crystal engineering, which, it should be noted, overlaps very little with crystal structure prediction.

Crystal engineering harnesses the principles of supramolecular chemistry to design and synthesise novel crystalline architectures with tailored properties. By exploiting specific intermolecular ...

"One of the continuing scandals in the physical sciences is that it remains in general impossible to predict the structure of even the simplest crystalline solids from a knowledge of their chemical ...
