Description
Summary:The design of crystalline solids relies on understanding and controlling intermolecular and intramolecular interactions. Through theoretical charge density analysis and database mining, Shukla et al. [(2025). IUCrJ, 12, 334–357] have found a new way of viewing supramolecular assembly through the lens of electrostatic complementarity.
