Structure and Chemistry of Crystalline Solids

Overview

Crystallographers have an elegant system using definitive notation for describing crystal structures, but it does not serve as well the needs of many others working with crystalline solids. Most chemists, metallurgists, mineralogists, geologists and workers in material sciences need a simple system and notation for describing crystal structures. Structure and Chemistry of Crystalline Solids presents a widely applicable system with simple notation giving important information about the structure and the chemical environment of ions or molecules. It is easily understood and used by those concerned with applications dependent on structure-properties relationships. This book addresses the needs of people working with crystal structures in several fields, while most other books on crystal structures are more than two decades old. Early chapters provide an introduction to crystal structures and symmetry for readers with a variety of backgrounds.

Reviews

From the reviews of the first edition: This book is very interesting and useful for its ability to describe systematically the often-overlooked similarities among crystal structures that appear, at first glance, to be very different. As such, it will appeal to specialists in crystal chemistry who are interested in probing deeper into structural similarities and differences in solid-state compounds and also to educators and students who desire supplementary information about crystal structures. (Raymond E. Schaak, JACS, Vol. 129 (2), 2007)


Author Information

Bodie Douglas is Professor Emeritus of Chemistry of the University of Pittsburgh. He has had three editions of an inorganic chemistry textbook and a textbook on symmetry and group theory. He spent a year with the crystallographic group of Sir Gordon Cox at the University of Leeds (England). Shi-Ming Ho retired from Westinghouse Research Laboratory where he worked in materials science. Ideas for the system used for describing structures in this book were part of his doctoral dissertation with Bodie Douglas.
