Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue collects selected communications presented at the 1st International Electronic Conference on Crystals, successfully held online 21–31 May, 2018, under the sponsorship of MDPI.
Most of the papers are related to the conference session “Interactions in Crystal Structures and Crystal Engineering”, accompanied by contributions on “Crystal Engineering”, “Nano- and Two-Dimensional Crystals”, and “Liquid Crystals”. The papers cover both experimental and theoretical/computational aspects.
We thank the participants of this highly-innovative conference, which did not require registration or traveling expenses, allowing researchers to disseminate knowledge and discuss with their peers. We shall treasure this experience in organizing the next conference in the series. We also thank the members of the scientific committee and the invaluable assistance by Crystals Editorial Office.
