CrystEngComm Cover Image: Issue 2 now published

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.

View the issue online here: CrystEngComm Issue 2, 2011

CrystEngComm doubles in frequency

Soon there will be twice as much CrystEngComm for readers to get their teeth in to! From Issue 1 CrystEngComm will be published fortnightly, with 24 issues appearing in 2011.

This great news for our authors as well as our readers, as articles appear more frequently in issues, and you get your page numbers much quicker.

As can be seen from the massive 600% growth the journal has experienced over the last 5 years, and the accompanying rise in impact factor to 4.2, CrystEngComm is very much THE journal in which to publish cutting-edge crystal engineering research.

To be part of this exciting journal, submit your latest research to CrystEngComm today:
