Interpretation of crystal structure determinations

Overview & Synopsis

X-ray crystallography
and the methods of structure determination. Its coverage-from crystallization to
diffraction techniques, and eventually to symmetry analysis-will tackle the
subject in a step-by-step and an organized manner that provides a clear insight
into complex matters. Some critical concepts include intramolecular and
intermolecular geometry, thermal motion analysis, and hydrogen bonding. It
covers very advanced topics, like powder diffraction and graph sets, making this
note a very valuable resource for students and researchers who conduct work in
crystallography. This note is very valuable because it offers practical insight
into the interpretation and validation of crystal structures that give those
seeking to deepen their knowledge in structural chemistry and material sciences
some incredible value.
