Molecular and Ionic Solids

19.9K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Nanotechnology
    • Sustainable Chemistry

    Background:

    • Conventional covalent materials face challenges in cost-efficiency and sustainability.
    • Molecular plastics, fabricated from small molecules, offer a promising alternative due to facile fabrication and recycling.
    • Tuning the nanostructure and properties of molecular plastics is key to their broader application.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate the robustness and tunable (nano)structure of molecular plastics through modular construction.
