Decoupling Steric and Charge Effects in Isostructural Salicylideneaniline Polymorphs: A “Spatial Template, Charge Details” Model
The regulation of polymorphic behavior by substituents involves a complex interplay of steric and electronic effects that are difficult to decouple. Herein, using −Cl and −CH3 substituents of comparable van der Waals volumes yet opposite electronic characters, we investigated the polymorphic behavior of three salicyl...
