Description
Kluwer Academic Structure Determination By X-Ray Crystallography 1995 Edition by M. F. C. Ladd R. A. Palmer
X-ray crystallography provides us with the most accurate picture we can get of atomic and molecular structures in crystals. It provides a hard bedrock of structural results in chemistry and in mineralogy. In biology where the structures are not fully crystalline it can still provide valuable results and indeed the impact here has been revolutionary. It is still an immense field for young workers and no doubt will provide yet more striking develop- ments of a major character. It does however require a wide range of intellectual application and a considerable ability in many fields. This book will provide much help. It is a very straightforward and thorough guide to every aspect of the subject. The authors are experienced both as research workers themselves and as teachers of standing and this is shown in their clarity of exposition. There are plenty of iliustrations and worked examples to aid the student to obtain a real grasp of the subject. Table of contents : 1 Crystal Geometry.
