Steps Towards a Nature Inspired Inorganic Crystal Engineering

Fabrizia Grepioni,* Lucia Casali, Cecilia Fiore, Luca Mazzei, Renren Sun, Oleksii Shemchukd and Dario Braga* Crystal engineering is used for properties modification of organic solids via cocrystallization with inorganic salts, to tackle chiral resolution, enzyme inhibition and antimicrobial resistance within a frame of cross-disciplinary scientific expertise.

Crystal engineering: from promise to delivery

Twenty years ago, I wrote a Chem. Commun. feature article entitled ‘‘Crystal Engineering: where from?Where to?’’: an update is in order. In this Highlight I argue that molecular crystal engineering, one of theareas of fast development of the field, has definitely reached the stage of ‘‘delivering the goods’’: newfunctional materials assembled via non-covalent interactions and/or […]

Mechanochemical preparation of cocrystals Chem Soc Rev 2013

Review on mechanochemistry and cocrystals – also abundantly cited Dario Braga,* Lucia Maini and Fabrizia GrepioniThe preparation of co-crystals via mechanochemistry combines the quest for clean and green processes with the investigation of multicomponent new materials, among the currently most fashionable systems in the crystal engineering field: the physico-chemical properties of the components add, merge […]

6-9-23 Università: abbandoni e mancate iscrizioni.

Tra poche settimane riprenderanno i corsi universitari. Abbiamo chiuso il secondo semestre con il tema del caro-affitti e con studenti fuori sede accampati davanti ai rettorati di numerose grandi università. La stampa si è occupata a lungo del problema legandolo anche a quello degli abbandoni, che ha visto un record del 7.4 % per l’anno […]
