Crystal Design cover

This book covers major classes of crystals in the design of novel materials, with an emphasis on advances and applications.
* The editor is one of the pioneers in the "design" and "engineering" approach in solid state supramolecular chemistry
* All authors developed a specific class of crystals and are world leaders in the field
* Reflects the rapid progress made in this field

"…the pharmaceutical scientists dealing with polymorphism will certainly enjoy this book." (Pharmaceutical Research, March 2004)

“This book strengthens our understanding on crystal polymorphism and provides a bridge between solid-state chemistry and molecular crystal engineering.  Thus, it is useful not only for material engineers, but also for scientists in the field of pharmaceutical product development.” (Pharmaceutical Research, Vol. 21, No. 3, March 2004)

“...both a useful introduction for new investigators and a good reference text for the specialist...recommend the text as a useful addition to any chemistry library collection...” (Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 125, No. 49)
