CrystEngComm

Aims & Scope

CrystEngComm is the forum for the design and understanding of crystalline materials. We welcome studies on the investigation of molecular behaviour within crystals, control of nucleation and crystal growth, engineering of crystal structures, and construction of crystalline materials with tuneable properties and functions. We publish hypothesis-driven research into how crystal design affects… phase transitional behaviours polymorphism morphology control solid state reactivity (crystal-crystal, solution-crystal and gas-crystal reactions) optoelectronics ferroelectric materials non-linear optics molecular and bulk magnetism conductivity and quantum computing catalysis absorption and desorption mechanical properties Guidance on materials and techniques of interest is given below: Materials of interest crystalline organic and inorganic compounds MOFs and coordination polymers covalent organic frameworks nanocrystals host-guest systems multi-component molecular materials peptides and biomacromolecules liquid crystals Techniques and methods single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction electron diffraction crystallography neutron diffraction crystallography solid-state spectroscopy, spectrometry, and microscopy modelling and data mining empirical, semi-empirical and ab-initio theoretical evaluations All papers should involve the use or development of a design or optimisation strategy. Routine structural reports or crystal morphology descriptions, even when combined with an analysis of properties or potential applications, are generally considered to be outside the scope of the journal and are unlikely to be accepted.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.

Source: OpenAlex · Each year’s green bar = citations earned by that year’s papers, counted to date — so recent years look lower simply because their papers haven’t had time to be cited yet.
