Crystalline Molecular Complexes and Compounds [electronic resource] : Structures and Principles
Herbstein, Frank H.
Oxford : Oxford University Press,
2005.
This book provides a comprehensive and unified account of the structure and properties of crystalline binary adducts. Perhaps better known as molecular complexes and compounds, these crystals are currently estimated (from molecular recognition studies) to make up one quarter of the world's crystals, providing evidence for some sort of special attraction between the two components. DNA is perhaps the most famous example but others (hydrates, solvates, host-guest inclusion complexes,donor-acceptor compounds) pervade the whole body of solid state chemistry. Although much research has been publish
