{"product_id":"inorganic-structural-chemistry-isbn-9780470018644","title":"Inorganic Structural Chemistry","description":"The essential introduction to the understanding of the structure of inorganic solids and materials. This revised and updated 2nd Edition looks at new developments and research results within Structural Inorganic Chemistry in a number of ways, special attention is paid to crystalline solids, elucidation and description of the spatial order of atoms within a chemical compound.  Structural principles of inorganic molecules and solids are described through traditional concepts, modern bond-theoretical theories, as well as taking symmetry as a leading principle.Neue Entwicklungen und Ergebnisse auf dem Gebiet der anorganischen Strukturchemie werden in diesem Band mit traditionellen Konzepten, aber auch mit modernen bindungstheoretischen Methoden diskutiert; das Leitmotiv dabei ist die Symmetrie. Eine große Rolle spielt die Aufklärung und Beschreibung der räumlichen Struktur kristalliner Festkörper und der Anordnung der Atome in Molekülen.  \u003cb\u003ePreface.\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Introduction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Description of Chemical Structures.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Symmetry.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Polymorphism and Phase Transitions.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Chemical Bonding and Lattice Energy.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 The Effective Size of Atoms.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7 Ionic Compounds.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e8 Molecular Structures I: Compounds of Main Group Elements.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e9 Molecular Structures II: Compounds of Transition Metals.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e10 Molecular Orbital Theory and Chemical Bonding in Solids.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e11 The Element Structures of the Nonmetals.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e12 Diamond-like Structures.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e13 Polyanionic and Polycationic Compounds.

School attendance in Bogotá, then in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and finally in Fellbach, Germany. Studied chemistry at the Technische Hochschule in Stuttgart, Germany, obtaining the degree of Diplom-Chemiker in 1963. Work on the doctoral thesis in inorganic chemistry was performed in Stuttgart and at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, in the research groups of K. Dehnicke and K. S. Vorres, respectively. The doctor's degree in natural sciences (Dr. rer. nat.) was awarded by the Technische Hochschule Stuttgart in 1966. Subsequent post-doctoral work in crystallography and crystal structure determinations was performed in the research group of H. Bärnighausen at the Universität Karlsruhe, Germany. Appointed in 1972 as professor of inorganic chemistry at the Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany, then from 1992 to 1999 at the Universität Kassel, Germany, and since 1999 again in Marburg. Helped installing a graduate school of chemistry as visiting professor at the Universidad de Costa Rica from 1975 to 1977. Courses in spectroscopic methods were repeatedly given at different universities in Costa Rica, Brazil and Chile. Main areas of scientific interest: synthetic inorganic chemistry, crystallography and crystal structure systematics, crystallographic group theory.

For example, many recently discovered modifications of the elements have been included, most of which occur at high pressures. Particular attention is given to the treatment of symmetry throughout the book. New sections deal with quasicrystals and other not strictly crystalline solids, with phase transitions and with the electron localization function.
