Solid-State Structures of Hydrogen-Bonded Tapes Based on Cyclic Secondary Diamides

"Crystal engineering" refers to the nucleation and growth of crystals, predicting their solid-state structure and controlling the intermolecular forces that determine molecular packing patterns in organic crystals. A variety of crystalline structures are described, but it is unclear if the...

Description
Summary:"Crystal engineering" refers to the nucleation and growth of crystals, predicting their solid-state structure and controlling the intermolecular forces that determine molecular packing patterns in organic crystals. A variety of crystalline structures are described, but it is unclear if the observed structures reflect a thermodynamic minimum or a kinetic preference.
