Four advanced methods for the crystallisation of organic molecules are presented: crystalline sponge, tetraaryladamantane chaperones, microbatch under-oil and encapsulated nanodroplet crystallisation, alongside an overview of classical techniques.
Utilization of the crystalline sponge {[(ZnI2)3(tpt)2·x(solvent)]

} method has enabled characterization of a novel family of synthetic organic oils. The systematic structural differences and diversity of functional groups offered by 13 related molecular adsorbates provide a detailed quantitative understanding of the relationship between the guest structure, its conformation, and the type of intermolecular interactions adopted with neighbouring guests and the host framework. This analysis is extended to assess the connection of these factors to the resulting quality indicators for a particular molecular structure elucidation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
