This Tutorial Review, aimed at both the novice and the seasoned solid-state chemist, provides a succinct overview of key findings that have, over the last half century, advanced our ability to make molecular crystals with targeted structures and desired properties. The article critically evaluates the efficiency and reliability of the well-established guidelines used by experimentalists in crystal engineering and highlights statistical and computational tools that are both advantageous to crystal design and accessible to experimental solid-state chemists.

Subfields: Materials Chemistry, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry
