Preface
The first volume of this book on the topic of organic crystal chemistry was published in 2015. About 5 years later, this academic area has evolved and diversified
significantly in response to the rapid development of various analytical and measurement techniques for organic solid materials. The second volume systematically
summarizes and records recent remarkable advances in organic crystal chemistry in
a broad sense, including organic–inorganic hybrid materials, liquid crystals, etc.,
focusing on the topics of organic crystal chemistry achieved during this period. The
25 papers contributed to this volume are broadly classified into five categories,
(1) nucleation and crystal growth, (2) structure and design of crystals, (3) function,
(4) chirality, and (5) solid-state reaction.
The chapters included herein are by invited members of the Organic Crystal
Division of the Chemical Society of Japan (CSJ) and by prominent invited authors
from abroad. The Organic Crystal Division of the Chemical Society of Japan (CSJ),
founded in 1997, is comprised of the core researchers of organic crystal chemistry
in Japan. The division holds a biannual domestic conference (a symposium on
organic crystal chemistry in autumn and the Annual Spring Meeting of CSJ in late
March) and publishes the Organic Crystal Division Newsletter twice a year.
In this exclusive volume on the organic crystal chemistry, leading scientists in
the field vividly depict the most recent achievements in this interdisciplinary field of
crystal chemistry, which can be applied to a wide variety of science and technology.
The chapters herein are up-to-date, comprehensive, and authoritative. We, editors,
would like to express our sincerest gratitude to all authors for their great contributions to Advances in Organic Crystal Chemistry: Comprehensive Review 2020
and we hope that this book is a valuable resource for an advanced course in
chemistry, biochemistry, industrial chemistry, and pharmacology.
