Considering the high level of our knowledge concerning covalent
bond formation in the organic chemistry of molecules, our
understanding of the principles involved in organic solid design is
almost in its infancy. While chemists today are able to synthesize
organic molecules of very high complexity using sophisticated
methods of preparation, they lack general approaches enabling them
to reliably predict organic crystalline or solid structures from
molecular descriptors - no matter how simple they are. On the other
hand, nearly all the organic matter surrounding us is not in the
single-molecule state but aggregated and condensed to form liquid
or solid molecular assemblages and structural arrays giving rise to
the appearances and properties of organic compounds we usually
observe. Obviously, the electrical, optical or magnetic properties
of solid organic materials that are important requirements for
future technologies and high-tech applications, as well as the
stability and solubility behavior of a medicament depend on the
structure of the molecule and the intramolecular forces, but even
more decisively on the intermolecular forces, i. e. the packing
structure of the molecules to which a general approach is lacking.
This situation concerned ]. Maddox some years ago to such a degree
that he described it as "one of the continuing scandals in the
physical sciences" [see (1998) Nature 335:201; see also Ball, P.
(1996) Nature 381:648]. The problem of predicting organic solid and
crystal structures is very dif- cult.
