description

In this paper we will focus on the crystal engineering of molecular materials exhibiting magnetic and/or electrical properties. The complexity of these materials needs of a precise design of the molecular building blocks, a control of the intermolecular interactions (hydrogen bonds, host/guest interactions, etc.) and a mastery in crystallization techni- ques in order to design crystal structures exhibiting useful physical proper- ties. We will illustrate this concept through some relevant examples based on two-component hybrid materials.
