A cycloparaphenylene can be thought of as the shortest possible cross section of an
armchair carbon nanotube. Although envisioned decades ago, these molecules—also …

The founding in 1965 of what is now called the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has
reaped dividends in numerous and diverse areas of chemical research. Each of the million …

This Tutorial Review, aimed at both the novice and the seasoned solid-state chemist,
provides a succinct overview of key findings that have, over the last half century, advanced …

How do molecules aggregate in solution, and how do these aggregates consolidate
themselves in crystals? What is the relationship between the structure of a molecule and the …

Charged intermediates and reagents are ubiquitous in organic transformations. The
interaction of these ionic species with chiral neutral, anionic, or cationic small molecules has …

This review describes a multidimensional treatment of molecular recognition phenomena
involving aromatic rings in chemical and biological systems. It summarizes new results …

The partitioning of space with Hirshfeld surfaces enables the analysis of fingerprint
molecular interactions in crystalline environments. This study uses the decomposition of the …

The hydrogen bond is the most important of all directional intermolecular interactions. It is
operative in determining molecular conformation, molecular aggregation, and the function of …

A new way of exploring packing modes and intermolecular interactions in molecular crystals
is described, using Hirshfeld surfaces to partition crystal space. These molecular Hirshfeld …

Intermolecular interactions involving aromatic rings are key processes in both chemical and
