NON TECHNICAL Crystal Engineering is a contemporary area of chemical research and is central to many fundamental problems that are currently facing society. Developments in this rapidly developing field may meet societal demands that cannot be addressed by more conventional approaches in synthetic chemistry and materials science such as the rational design and construction of materials for use in storing hydrogen for vehicles and efforts to control drug polymorphism. This Gordon Research Conference (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. This unique conference format will foster the formation of new collaborations and ideas that would not otherwise occur if not for these important conferences. NSF funding is crucial to the success of this endeavor. The GRC Chair and Vice-Chair will actively recruit underrepresented groups with the goal of increasing diversity in the Crystal Engineering community, making it more reflective of the general population. TECHNICAL With partial support from the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program, the 2016 Crystal Engineering Gordon Research Conference (GRC) follows on the three highly successful previous GRCs on Crystal Engineering (2010, 2012 & 2014) with 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 other organic and inorganic 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.

晶体工程是化学研究的当代领域，是目前社会面临的许多基本问题的核心。在这个快速发展的领域的发展可能会满足社会需求，不能解决更传统的方法在合成化学和材料科学，如合理的设计和构造的材料用于储存氢的车辆和努力控制药物的多晶型。本次戈登研究会议（GRC）将寻求积极招募研究生，博士后和初级专业人员参加GRC，使他们不仅能够从会谈和讨论中学习，而且能够为他们的未来发展建立重要联系。 这种独特的会议形式将促进新的合作和想法的形成，如果没有这些重要的会议，这些合作和想法就不会发生。 NSF的资助对于这一奋进的成功至关重要。GRC主席和副主席将积极招募代表性不足的团体，以增加Crystal Engineering社区的多样性，使其更能反映普通人群。在固态和材料化学计划的部分支持下，2016年晶体工程戈登研究会议（GRC）遵循了晶体工程（2010年，2012年和2014年）的三个非常成功的前GRC，有许多学生和国际参与者。晶体工程是设计和合成功能性固态结构（例如，新的有机分子晶体和金属-有机配位聚合物以及其他有机和无机骨架固体（MOF），基于从较小的结构单元（如中性有机分子和有机或无机离子）的自下而上的方法。典型的设计策略使用氢键和配位键，它们定义了分别称为超分子配体和二级结构单元的子结构单元。这门学科跨越了有机，无机和物理化学的传统划分，使思想，技术和策略非常折衷。该领域已经发展到一个阶段，主题之间的交叉施肥预计将促进在一般追求提供功能材料的重大进展。主题涵盖了晶体工程的基础知识和应用，与有机合成，制药和能量存储等重要领域相关。
