Crystal engineering and organomettalic architecture

Organometallic crystal engineering supports an organic outlook of crystal engineering. Its scope focuses on the characterization of molecular crystals for a range of physical and chemical applications. A number of factors are considered critical in the crystal engineering of organomettalic compounds. These factors are correlated with the location of the metal centers in the compounds within the molecular cores. The features of organometallic molecules support dependencies related to the relationship between the electronic nature of the metals and the intermolecular bonding of ligands.
