The Prediction and Production of Polarity in Crystalline Supramolecular Materials

A general principle of polarity formation

  • Chapter
Crystal Engineering: From Molecules and Crystals to Materials

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASIC,volume 538))

Abstract

Spontaneous polarity formation in molecular crystals is a key issue in the design of materials featuring tensorial properties of interest to technical applications. This review discusses theoretical models for the prediction of spontaneous polarity formation in channel-type zeolites, channel-type inclusion compounds and organic solid solutions. Theoretical models presented here are based on a general principle of polarity formation, typical for growth processes where dipolar compounds are attached to surfaces.
