Recent Developments in Crystal Engineering

In recent years, Asian countries, especially China and India, are making significant progress in the field of crystal engineering. The recent surge of publications in this area from these countries in high impact journals is a tangible measure of this activity. An important milestone in this direction was the China-India-Singapore Symposium on Crystal Engineering recently held at the National University of Singapore. This symposium brought researchers working in this field to meet, discuss, present, and exchange their research work and has generated momentum to further accelerate the growth of this field. This perspective highlights the recent advances discussed by the researchers at this symposium in the fast growing field of crystal engineering.
