2010 Crystal Engineering Gordon Research Conference; Waterville Valley Resort, NH; June 6-10, 2010

2010年，戈登研究会议（GRC）系列将在晶体工程这一快速崛起的领域提出第一个GRC，这是当今化学研究的一个更现代的领域。晶体工程是基于从中性有机分子和有机或无机离子等较小的构建块自下而上的方法设计和合成功能固态结构。晶体工程是围绕三个不同而又相互关联的主题发展和构建的：(1)分子间相互作用的研究；(2)在晶体设计策略中使用这些相互作用；(3)对晶体结构进行微调以实现性能优化。SSMC计划为2010年戈登晶体工程研究会议（GRC）提供了资金（2010年6月6日至10日，新罕布什尔州Waterville Valley Resort）。NSF资金将用于为参加会议的研究生、博士后和/或年轻教师（包括但不限于女性和/或其他少数民族）提供注册费和/或旅费。晶体工程是当今化学研究中比较现代的领域之一，是当前社会面临的许多基本问题的核心。预计这一快速发展领域的发展将满足目前合成化学和材料科学的更传统方法无法解决的社会需求。晶体工程可以解决当前社会挑战的领域包括合理设计和建造储氢材料以及努力控制药物多态性。SSMC计划为2010年戈登晶体工程研究会议（GRC）提供了资金（2010年6月6日至10日，新罕布什尔州Waterville Valley Resort）。NSF资金将用于为参加会议的研究生、博士后和/或年轻教师（包括但不限于女性和/或其他少数民族）提供注册费和/或旅费。

TECHNICAL In 2010, the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) series will present the first GRC in the rapidly emerging field of Crystal Engineering, one of the more contemporary areas of chemical research today. Crystal Engineering is the design and synthesis of functional solid-state structures based on a bottom-up approach from smaller building blocks such as neutral organic molecules and organic or inorganic ions. Crystal Engineering is developed and structured around three distinct and yet interconnected themes: (1) the study of intermolecular interactions; (2) the use of these interactions in a crystal design strategy and, (3) the fine-tuning of crystal structure for property optimization. The SSMC program provided funds for the 2010 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Crystal Engineering (June 6-10, 2010, Waterville Valley Resort, NH). The NSF funds will be utilized to provide registration fee and/or travel support for graduate students, postdocs and/or young faculty including, but not limited to, women and/or other minorities to participate in the conference. NON TECHNICALCrystal Engineering is one of the more contemporary areas of chemical research today and is central to many fundamental problems that are currently facing society. It is expected that developments in this rapidly developing field will meet societal demands that are not currently being addressed by more conventional approaches to synthetic chemistry and materials science. Examples of areas where Crystal Engineering can address current societal challenges include the rational design and construction of hydrogen storage materials and efforts to control drug polymorphism.
