Abstract
The presentation will focus mainly on single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of various organic and metal-organic molecular crystals with a view to understanding the relationships between structure and function. More specifically, properties of interest include (1) optical second harmonic generation as a result of polar ordering of guest molecules in inclusion compounds, (2) gas uptake by seemingly nonporous porous crystals and (3) anomalously large positive and negative thermal expansion.
Series This talk is part of the Inorganic Chemistry series.
