"The interaction between crystallography and chemistry has been lively. It has been an active and stimulating exchange of ideas ever since the existence of crystals was noticed more than two millennia ago. This exchange has taken a new meaning after the discovery of X-ray diffraction and the determination of crystal structures, 100 years ago. Crystal engineering is the latest chapter of chemical crystallography and it has all the ingredients of a fundamental science with important practical applications in fields as diverse as pharmaceuticals, separation and catalysis."
