Hot Article: Correlating supramolecular structures and melting points

José Giner Planas and colleagues from the Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), and Mark E. Light and Michael B. Hursthouse from the University of Southampton look at methyl-o-carboranyl and o-carboranyl alcohols bearing N-aromatic rings in this CrystEngComm Hot article.

Giner-Planas relates the presence of infinite O–H···N hydrogen bonding networks with melting points using decomposed Fingerprint plots, which looks to be a really interesting finding for crystal engineers.
