Bottom-up approach from small molecular building blocks is widely employed for the design and synthesis of functional solid-state structures. This field involves the study of intermolecular interactions and the use of these interactions in the design strategy as well as fine-tuning of crystal structure for property optimization. The purpose of this symposium is to bring together a wide range of experts with a diverse background and will consist of topics including materials via topological polymerization, crystalline framework materials, crystals through self assembly, and emerging EM techniques for structural determination, etc.
