Abstract
Assemblies of organic molecules that form finite structures represent targets for crystal engineers that can exhibit properties largely independent of crystal packing. Such finite molecular assemblies can display function, such as host–guest behavior and chemical reactivity. Here, we provide a review of finite molecular assemblies characterized in the organic solid state. The assemblies are classified as being either purely synthetic or functional. Examples from both the areas are presented and discussed.
