Intermolecular interactions and supramolecular organization in organometallic solids

Abstract
Structural variability and flexibility are distinctive properties of organometallic molecules which are reflected in the patterns of intermolecular interactions established by mononuclear and polynuclear coordination complexes in the solid state. The study of van der Waals interactions, hydrogen bonding, and anion–cation interactions allows us to understand how organometallic molecules self-recognize and self-organize and to gain insight into the relationship between molecular and supramolecular crystal structures. This establishes a basis on which a strategy of organometallic crystal engineering can be developed.
