… is a fast growing area of knowledge with implications in both academical and industrial environment. It can be defined as the rational design and synthesis of functional molecular solids. APIs represent a particularly great challenge to crystal engineers because of applied reasons and their frequent exhibited polymorphism, which can have intellectual property implications.
