Organised by the Dalton Division of the RSC, in association with the Inorganic Chemistry Division and the Interdivision Group of Structural Chemistry of the Italian Society of Chemistry.
Modern crystal engineering is the planning and utilisation of crystal-oriented syntheses and the evaluation of the physical and chemical properties of the resulting crystalline materials. At the intersection of supramolecular and materials chemistry, inorganic crystal engineering, in particular, is a booming field of research thanks to the (mostly undiscovered) potential inherent to the utilisation of inorganic and organometallic molecules and ions to attain new collective properties.
Dalton Discussion 3 provided a forum in which different experiences and problems related to the synthesis, characterisation and exploitation of inorganic, bioinorganic and organometallic materials was discussed in an informal way.
