A crystal of an organic compound is the ultimate supermolecule, and its assembly, governed
by chemical and geometrical factors, from individual molecules is the perfect example of …

The CH ‚‚‚O hydrogen bond is so well-established in structural chemistry that it seems
difficult now to believe that when Sutor proposed the existence of this type of hydrogen bond …

Because of the importance of the hydrogen bond, there have been scores of insights gained
about its fundamental nature by quantum chemical computations over the years. Such …

Ab initio calculations are used to analyze the CH⊙⊙⊙ O interaction between F n H3-n CH
as proton donor and H2O, CH3OH, and H2CO as acceptor. The interaction is quite weak …

An overview is given on CHO hydrogen bonding in the solid state. Following a short survey
of the early literature, the general properties of CHO bonding are discussed. The structural …

Halogen bonds in the solid state have been investigated for many years, with a major
resurgence in activity occurring in the past decade. The emphasis of most studies has been …

It has long been known that C–H groups may form weak hydrogen bonds. The
characteristics of these interactions, however, have been explored systematically only …

The extensive occurrence of C–H··· Cl hydrogen bonds has been established through a
systematic statistical analysis of the Cambridge Crystallographic Database; chloride anions …

Analysis of 6624 crystallographically characterised hydrogen bonds containing M–Cl, C–Cl
or Cl–and either HO or HN groups show that M–Cl moieties are good, anisotropic hydrogen …

This article highlights the importance of crystal engineering in designing functional
materials. Various rational design strategies will be discussed for controlling the molecular …
