DESCRIPTION:
He is the author of several textbooks in chemistry for beginners and advanced students.. From 1992 to 1999 he was professor of solid state chemistry at the University of Kassel, Germany, and then returned to the University of Marburg. work (1964 - 1966) was performed in Inorganic Chemistry, partly at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, partly at Purdue University, Indiana, USA. He studied chemis
Part 1 of this book presents the necessary mathematical foundations and tools: the fundamentals of crystallography with special emphasis on symmetry, the theory of the crystallographic groups, and the formalisms of the needed crystallographic computations. Part 2 gives an insight into applications to problems in crystal chemistry. In crystal chemistry and crystal physics, the relations between the symmetry groups (space groups) of crystalline solids are of special importance. Worked-out solutions to the exercises can be found at the end of the book.. With the aid of numerous examples, it is shown how crystallographic group theory can be used to make evident relationships between crystal structures, to set up a systematic order in the huge amount of known crystal structures, to predict crystal structures, to analyse phase transitions and topotactic reactions in the solid state, to understand the formation of domains and twins in crystals, and to avoid errors in crystal structure determinations.A broad range of end-of-chapter exercise
"Clear and concise" according to Uncle Al. I had a lot of fun with it! Good discussions of enantiomorphic space groups and non-conventional settings.
The book shows how to make use of the symmetry relations described in International Tables as well as understand e.g. More can be made of symmetry relations too. Helliwell, School of Chemistry, The University of Manchester . This book takes the reader beyond structure. Numerous chapter exercises are a distinctive feature and offer the possibility to apply the material that has been learnt; solutions to the exercises are at the end of the book." -- John R. "Structural crystallographers in biology, chemistry and physics meet symmetry and sometimes relatively complicated cases. crystal structure types, analyse phase transitions, domain formation and twinning in crystals as well as to avoid errors in crystal structure determinations such as choice of incorrect space group
