Abstract

This paper describes an approach to crystal engineering based on designing and analyzing hierarchical levels of crystalline architecture. The system under study consists of 1:1 co-crystals of melamines and barbituric acids that self-assemble into crystallographically infinite hydrogen-bonded tapes. The formation of structural elements can be rationalized and controlled using familiar molecular concepts such as steric repulsion.
