Description
Book SynopsisMulti-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.
Trade ReviewI 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. -- Gautam R.
