Kurzbeschreibung
This revised and updated Second Edition looks at new developments and research results within structural inorganic chemistry in a number of ways. Special attention is paid to crystalline solids and 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 and 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.
