Publication history
CrystEngComm was one of the first online-only chemistry journals to be published,[2] with volume 1 being published in 1999. Initially articles were published online as soon as they were publishable and the journal did not publish articles in issues. However, in 2000 issues were introduced, and the journal was published monthly.[3] As submissions increased, the journal switched in 2011 to a biweekly publication.[4] Authors can elect to have accepted articles published as open access.[5]
The journal has been involved in the development of nomenclature for crystal engineering[6][7][8] which is gradually being adopted by researchers in the field.
Subject coverage
Properties: Thermodynamics, phase transitional behaviours, polymorphism, solid state reactivity, optoelectronics, non-linear optics (NLO), molecular and bulk magnetism, electrical conductivity and superconductivity, absorption and desorption, mechanical.
Target Crystals/Materials: Ionic, molecular, covalent and coordination solids, coordination polymers, hydrogen-bonded solids, intermolecular interactions, biominerals and biomimetic materials, synthetic zeolites, liquid crystals, nano and mesoporous crystals, channelled structures, crystalline nanomaterials.
Techniques: Single crystal X-ray and neutron diffraction, powder diffraction, solid state spectroscopy (IR, Raman, NMR etc.), calorimetry and thermogravimetry.
Methods: Modelling and data mining, as well as empirical, semi-empirical and ab-initio theoretical evaluation of solids and of intermolecular interactions.
Article types
CrystEngComm publishes the following types of articles: Research Papers (original scientific work); Communications (original work that merits urgent publication); and Highlights (short reviews of topics from the field of crystal engineering).
