In this HOT article, Chinese researchers synthesized novel polyhedral 26-facet CuS microcages decorated with unique crystalline structures as building blocks via a facile sacrificial Cu2O templates solution route. Each of the polyhedral 26-facet CuS microcages is constructed of three different structural shells, which are enclosed by three pairs of square mesostructural shells, four pairs of nanotwinned triangular shells, and six pairs of rectangular single crystalline shells. The study should be of great importance for the “bottom-up” assembly of unusual hollow ordering superstructures.
In this CrystEngComm Highlight article Colin Seaton from the University of Manchester looks at the crystal engineering of co-crystals between carboxylic acids. Seaton looks at how Hammett substitution constants can help in the design and creation of multi-component crystalline materials.
A CrystEngComm article by Ben Zhong Tang and colleagues has been highlighted in the weekly ACS Noteworthy Chemistry section:
