Abstract
Computational crystal engineering approaches to design multicomponent solid forms are a popular means to target experiments that are likely to result in successful outcomes. By utilizing statistics of intermolecular interactions across a large database of experimental crystal structures, Stevens et al. [Acta Cryst. (2026), B82, 391-398] provide a rapid means of identifying key synthons for rational cocrystal design.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section B: Structural Science, Crystal Engineering and Materials publishes scientific articles related to the structural science of compounds and materials in the widest sense. Knowledge of the arrangements of atoms, including their temporal variations and dependencies on temperature and pressure, is often the key to understanding physical and chemical phenomena and is crucial for the design of new materials and supramolecular devices. Acta Crystallographica B is the forum for the publication of such contributions. Scientific developments based on experimental studies as well as those based on theoretical approaches, including crystal-structure prediction, structure-property relations and the use of databases of crystal structures, are published.
