Co-crystals cover

Multi-component crystalline systems or co-crystals have received tremendous attention from academia and industry alike in the past decade. Applications of co-crystals are varied and are likely to positively impact a wide range of industries dealing with molecular solids. Co-crystallization has been used to improve the properties and performance of materials from pharmaceuticals to energetic materials, as well as for separation of compounds.

This book combines co-crystal applications of commercial and practical interest from diverse fields in to a single volume. It also examines effective structural design of co-crystals, and provides insights into practical synthesis and characterization techniques. Providing a useful resource for postgraduate students new to applied co-crystal research and crystal engineering, it will also be of interest to established researchers in academia or industry.

I would say that one would be able to access information—and again I say, in a fast moving field—from this book far easier than using a panoply of computer aided information gathering methods. In this respect, this particular volume is a success and I congratulate the editors and the authors.

The editors of the present book on cocrystals have done an admirable job and have even exceeded expectations in providing us with a timely and extremely useful book - and this is an added challenge - in a fast moving area of fundamental and practical importance.
