Crystal Structure Analysis. Principles And Practice (Relié)

This text focuses on the practical aspects of crystal structure analysis, and provides the necessary conceptual framework for understanding and applying the technique. By choosing an approach that avoids undue emphasis on the mathematics involved, the book gives practical advice on topics such as growing crystals, solving and refining structures, and understanding and using the results. The technique described is a core experimental method in modern structural chemistry, and plays an ever more important role in the careers of graduate students and postdoctoral and academic staff as well as final-year undergraduates. Crystal Structure Analysis has a strong practical orientation. It contains many worked examples and problems (with answers) to reinforce the material presented.
