Interpretation of crystal structure determinations

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.

Crystal Structure Analysis Lecture Notes

Lecture notes by Dr. Peter Mueller on crystal structure analysis through X-ray diffraction techniques include key topics like principles of symmetry and space groups, geometry of diffraction, and computation of structure factors. The lecture goes on to discuss problems such as the phase problem and direct and Patterson techniques to solve it. It also encompasses electron density maps and refinement of structures. Practical issues like growing good-quality crystals and powder diffraction methods are addressed, besides the limitations of X-ray diffraction. The notes are a treasure trove of knowledge on the basics of crystallography and its applications combined with insight into structure databases.
