What to read after Crystal Structure Determination?

This textbook gives a concise introduction to modern crystal structure determination, emphasizing both its theoretical background and the way it is actually carried out. The theoretical sections are supported by many illustrations, and emphasise good understanding rather than rigorous mathematics. The most important data collection techniques, and the methods of data reduction, structure solution and refinement are discussed from a practical point of view. Many tips and insights help readers to recognize and avoid possible errors and traps, and to judge the quality of results. The second edition has been considerably updated, especially the chapter on experimental methods, which is now mainly concerned with modern data collection using area-detectors.

From the reviews of the first edition a "

"Distinguished by its attention to the practicalities of working with real crystalsa ]a lucid and relatively concise account of modern crystal structure solution a ]valuable to anyone who has an interest in crystal structure refinement."
