CrystEngComm

Scope

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. 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
• mechanical properties.

Readership information

Researchers in industry and academia working in the following fields.

• Solid-state inorganic and organic chemistry
• Materials chemistry
• Crystallography
• Crystal growth
• Crystal engineering
