MS35-01 - Synthons: Through the Looking-Glass, and What We Have Yet to Find There

Dejan-Kresimir Bucar (University College London, United Kingdom)

This presentation will critically evaluate the concepts, theories, and ideas underpinning modern crystal engineering efforts, with a view to stimulating a  constructive, community-wide conversation about the current state of the art.[1] Some of our recent efforts to further develop existing guidelines for the design of molecular cocrystals and solid solutions will also be discussed, along with a brief description of an alternative and underused method for the preparation of novel cocrystals.[2]
