In this fortnight’s issue of CrystEngComm the outside cover showcases work by O-Pil Kwon and colleagues at Ajou University, Suwon, Korea and collaborators at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and the Nonlinear Optics Laboratory, Zurich, Switzerland . The image shows a N-benzyl stilbazolium nonlinear optical chromophore with a non-polar benzyl group achieving acentric molecular ordering in the crystalline state.
The inside cover was produced by Mathias Wagner and co-workers, and shows thermally induced crystal-to-crystal transformations accompanied by changes in the magnetic properties of a CuII-p-hydroquinonate polymer.
