Crystal Growth & Design

《晶体生长与设计》（Crystal Growth & Design，标准缩写为 Cryst. Growth Des.）是由美国化学会（ACS Publications）出版的同行评审学术期刊，主要致力于物理、化学、生物学、材料科学以及化学工程领域中晶体生长、晶体工程与材料自组装的基础与应用研究。Crystal Growth & Design (officially titled Crystal Growth & Design', with standard abbreviation Cryst. Growth Des.'') is a peer-reviewed journal published by 美国化学会 (ACS Publications), and is devoted to fundamental and applied research on crystal growth, crystal engineering, and materials self-assembly across the physical, chemical, biological, materials, and chemical-engineering sciences.

Scope

Crystal Growth & Design 聚焦于从分子水平到宏观晶体结构的设计、合成、表征与理论机理。期刊强调晶体成核与生长动力学、超分子自组装机制以及结构-性能关系，收录领域涵盖：Crystal Growth & Design focuses on the design, synthesis, characterization, and theoretical understanding of crystalline matter — from the molecular level to macroscopic crystal structures — emphasizing the kinetics of nucleation and growth, supramolecular self-assembly, and structure–property relationships. Its coverage encompasses:

• 晶体工程与超分子化学： 配位聚合物、金属有机框架（MOFs）、共晶（Cocrystals）、多晶型（Polymorphism）以及基于非共价相互作用（氢键、卤键、\pi\text{–}\pi 堆积等）的理性晶体网络设计。Crystal engineering and supramolecular chemistry: coordination polymers, 金属有机框架 (MOFs), cocrystals, polymorphism, and the rational design of crystalline networks built on non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds, halogen bonds, and \pi\text{–}\pi stacking.
• 晶体生长动力学与机理： 均相与非均相成核动力学、经典与非经典结晶路径（如预成核团簇与取向附接）、表面形貌演变及相变机理。Crystal growth kinetics and mechanisms: homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation kinetics, classical and non-classical crystallization pathways (such as pre-nucleation clusters and oriented attachment), surface morphology evolution, and phase transformation mechanisms.
• 工业结晶与反应工程： 结晶过程控制、多晶型筛选、抗溶剂结晶、工业结晶器放大、结晶阻滞剂与添加剂的作用机制。Industrial crystallization and reaction engineering: crystallization-process control, polymorph screening, antisolvent crystallization, scale-up of industrial crystallizers, and the mechanisms of crystallization inhibitors and additives.
• 功能晶体材料： 压电、铁电、热电、非线性光学晶体、半导体单晶及光电转换晶体薄膜的制备与物理性质表征。Functional crystalline materials: the preparation and physical-property characterization of piezoelectric, ferroelectric, thermoelectric, and nonlinear optical crystals, semiconductor single crystals, and photoelectric-conversion crystalline thin films.
• 生物结晶与仿生矿化： 骨骼与牙齿矿化、生物分子（蛋白质、核酸、病毒颗粒）结晶动力学及病理性钙化（如结石）的分子抑制机制。Biocrystallization and biomineralization: mineralization of bone and tooth tissue, the crystallization kinetics of biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, and virus particles), and the molecular mechanisms underlying the inhibition of pathological calcification (such as stone formation).

History

• 创刊背景（2001年）： 鉴于超分子化学与固体材料科学在20世纪末的快速融合，美国化学会于2001年正式创刊 Crystal Growth & Design，最初为双月刊，由 Robin D. Rogers 担任创刊主编。Founding context (2001): against the backdrop of the rapid late-twentieth-century convergence of supramolecular chemistry with solid-state materials science, the American Chemical Society officially launched Crystal Growth & Design in 2001 as a bimonthly journal, with Robin D. Rogers serving as founding editor-in-chief.^[1]
• 发展为月刊（2005年至今）： 随着全球在配位化学、晶体药物共Transition to monthly publication (2005 to present): amid global advances in coordination chemistry, crystalline pharmaceuticals, and …
