Crystal engineering with urea and thiourea hydrogen-bonding groups

Abstract

The utilization of N,N′-disubstituted ureas and thioureas as design elements in the synthesis of crystalline organic solids is reviewed. These hydrogen-bonding units are versatile yet predictable building blocks that can be rationally employed in both crystal assembly and functionalization.
