Many compounds can be obtained in more than a single crystal structure, a phenomenon known as polymorphism. The control of polymorphism allows tuning the properties of a product in view of a specific application.

One of the main techniques for purification and isolation of compounds from solution.

Photoacoustic calorimetry allows investigating the energetics of short-lived species, such as free radicals.

Ionic liquids are a remarkable class of coulombic fluids with many potential technological applications.
