Crystal engineering is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the design and construction of molecular crystals with specific properties and functions. It combines principles from chemistry, materials science, solid-state physics, and crystallography to manipulate and control the arrangement of molecules within the solid state. Key aspects of crystal engineering include: 1. **Molecular Design**: Designing molecules that can self-assemble into desired crystalline structures.
