TECHNICAL The 2014 Crystal Engineering Gordon Research Conference (GRC), partly supported by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program, follows the highly successful previous GRCs on Crystal Engineering (2010 & 2912) which had numerous student and international participants. Crystal engineering is the design and synthesis of functional solid-state structures (e.g., new organic molecular crystals and metal-organic co-ordination polymers and framework solids (MOFs), based on a bottom-up approach from smaller building blocks such as neutral organic molecules, and organic or inorganic ions. Typical design strategies use hydrogen bonds and coordination bonds, which define sub-structural units that are called respectively, supramolecular synthons and secondary building units. This subject cuts across the traditional divisions of organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry, making for a very eclectic blend of ideas, techniques, and strategies. The field has developed to a stage that cross-fertilization between topics is expected to promote significant advancements in a general quest to afford functional materials. The topics cover both fundamentals and applications of Crystal Engineering that have relevance to important areas such as organic synthesis, pharmaceutics, and energy storage. NON TECHNICAL Crystal 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 cannot be 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 materials for use in storing hydrogen for vehicles and efforts to control drug polymorphism. This GRC will seek to aggressively recruit graduate students, postdocs, and junior level professionals to attend the GRC and enable them to not only learn from the talks and discussions, but allow them to make important contacts for their future development; NSF funding assists in this endeavor. The GRC Chair and Vice-Chair will actively recruit underrepresented groups, at least one small step toward the goal of diversity in the Crystal Engineering community reflective of the general population. New collaborations can be formed and new ideas generated that would not otherwise occur if not for these important conferences.

在固态和材料化学计划的部分支持的2014 Crystal Engineering Gordon研究会议（GRC）遵循众多学生和国际参与者的Crystal Engineering（2010＆2912）上非常成功的GRC（2010＆2912）。 晶体工程是功能性固态结构的设计和合成（例如，基于较小的基础的自下而上的方法，基于中性有机分子和典型的统一策略构成的较小构建基础，基于较小的构件的自下而上的方法，基于自下而上的构件，其典型的策略，其典型的策略，该方法的较小构建基础，基于较小的构件的自下而上的方法，该方法基于较小的构件，其典型的策略，该方法，该方法的设计和合成。超分子的合成子和次要建筑单位削减了有机，无机和物理化学的传统部门，从而使思想，技巧和策略的折衷融合到了一个阶段，从而期望将主题之间的互相效率促进一般范围的范围，从而促进了一般的范围。有机合成，药物和能量存储等区域。非技术水晶工程是当今化学研究的当代更现代领域之一，对于目前面临社会的许多基本问题至关重要。可以预期，这个快速发展的领域的发展将满足社会需求，而更常规的合成化学和材料科学方法无法解决这些需求。水晶工程可以解决当前社会挑战的领域的例子包括用于存储车辆氢的材料的合理设计和构建以及控制药物多态性的努力。该GRC将寻求积极地招募研究生，博士后和初级专业人员参加GRC，并使他们不仅可以从谈判和讨论中学习，还可以让他们为未来的发展建立重要的联系； NSF资金有助于这项工作。 GRC主席和副主席将积极招募代表性不足的群体，至少朝着反映出普通人群的水晶工程社区多样性的目标至少一步。 可以形成新的合作，并产生新的想法，如果不是这些重要的会议，这些想法将不会发生。
