About the Book

Solid State Chemistry

Solid state chemistry is one of the emerging and growth areas in chemistry. It is the study of solid materials, which may be molecular. Solid-state chemistry studies both the synthesis, the structure and the physical properties of solids. Solid state and materials chemistry is a quickly affecting field, and the aim of this version has been to bring the passage as up to date as promising with new developments. A few changes of emphasis have been complete along the way. X-ray crystallography is an extremely precise, but also difficult and expensive means of imaging the exact structure of a given molecule or macromolecule in a crystal lattice. Because a diverse set of materials produce crystals, including salts, metals, minerals, semiconductors, and various inorganic, organic, and biological molecules, x-ray crystallography is essential to many scientific fields. The present book is a concise and up-to-date work including all aspects of modern solid state chemistry.
