Crystal engineering nomenclature

In discussions to this point, no significant interaction between a guest and its medium has been considered. This is probably the case in the reaction cavity model of Cohen [13] as well, since product selectivity was attributed mainly to the presence or absence of free volume within the cavity. The analogy of guests in hosts to balls in boxes is very deficient, but is really not different from the situation in the kinds of crystal systems which first inspired the Cohen nomenclature. Interatomic attraction and repulsion was important in analyzing those systems and was even critical to the crystal engineering used to assemble some of the systems used in the studies by Schmidt and his co-workers [1,48,89]. In addition to being stiff or flexible, cavity walls must... 

Crystal engineering is a highly interdisciplinary area, which to some extent explains why unambiguous definitions and systematic nomenclatures have yet to be fully developed. The term co-crystal is not well-defined, and the existing literature contains terms such as molecular complexes, co-crystals, molecular adducts,...
