Recent decades brought abundant and more precise structural measurements, as well as opening of whole new areas, e.g. non-classical crystals, high-pressure crystallography, real-time study of phase transitions, nanomaterials with their intricate size-effects, fullerenes and clusters, van der Waals molecules. The book gives an outline of these new developments, while showing that the old concepts and techniques, from atomic radii to refractometry, are still useful.
Features:
- A survey of structural chemistry across different aggregate states (gas, liquid, glass, crystalline, nano-materials)
- Conceptual and numerical links between geometrical, thermodynamic, electronic and optical properties
- Up-to-date reference data, systematically presented and tabulated
- Critically revised tables of standard parameters - bond distances and energies, atomic radii, equations of state, etc.
