CRYSTENGCOMM

CrystEngComm is the forum for the design and understanding of crystalline materials. We welcome studies on the investigation of molecular behaviour within crystals, the control of nucleation and crystal growth, the engineering of crystal structures, and the construction of crystalline materials with tuneable properties and functions.We publish hypothesis-driven research into…how crystal design affects thermodynamics, phase transitional behaviours, polymorphism, morphology control, solid state reactivity (crystal-crystal solution-crystal, and gas-crystal reactions), optoelectronics, ferroelectric materials, non-linear optics, molecular and bulk magnetism, conductivity and quantum computing, catalysis, absorption and desorption, and mechanical properties.Using Techniques and methods including…Single crystal and powder X-ray, electron, and neutron diffraction, solid-state spectroscopy, spectrometry, and microscopy, modelling and data mining, and empirical, semi-empirical and ab-initio theoretical evaluations.On crystalline and solid-state materials.We particularly welcome work on MOFs, coordination polymers, nanocrystals, host-guest and multi-component molecular materials. We also accept work on peptides and liquid crystals.All papers should involve the use or development of a design or optimisation strategy. Routine structural reports or crystal morphology descriptions, even when combined with an analysis of properties or potential applications, are generally considered to be outside the scope of the journal and are unlikely to be accepted.

晶体工程通讯是设计和理解晶体材料的论坛。我们欢迎对晶体内分子行为的研究、成核和晶体生长的控制、晶体结构的工程以及具有可调谐特性和功能的晶体材料的结构的研究。我们发表了假设驱动的研究…晶体设计如何影响热力学、相转移行为、多态性、形态控制、固态反应活性(晶体-晶体溶液-晶体和气体-晶体反应)、光电子学、铁电材料、非线性光学、分子和体磁、电导率和量子计算、催化、吸收和解吸以及机械性能。使用技术和方法，包括…单晶和粉末x射线，电子和中子衍射，固体光谱，光谱和显微镜，建模和数据挖掘，经验，半经验和从头开始理论评估。晶体和固态材料。我们特别欢迎在MOF、配位聚合物、纳米晶体、主客体和多组分分子材料方面的工作。我们也接受多肽和液晶的研究。所有论文都应该涉及设计或优化策略的使用或开发。常规结构报告或晶体形态描述，即使与性能分析或潜在应用相结合，通常被认为不在期刊的范围内，不太可能被接受。
