This book contains the contributions of 13 well known specialists in the field of solid state chemistry who had been invited as lecturers at a 1992 NATO Advanced Study Institute in Erice, Sicily. The chapters of a more general character concern the use of the space group - subgroup relationships for the recognition of structure families, the crystal chemical formulae (which is a way of denoting simple crystal chemical information in a condensed form), the concepts of atom co-ordination, atom volume and charge transfer and the physicist's view of the bond strength in the solid which is measured by the crystal orbital overlap population. It is demonstrated for the case of ionic compounds that the bond valence method is superior to the old sum-of-radii method for the prediction of interatomic distances. Simple valence electron rules can be applied fto compounds with tetrahedral anion complexes. These rules allow one not only to make predictions on expected structural features of unknown compounds, but also to point out inconsistencies between the reported structure and composition of known compounds.
Detailed accounts are presented on the crystal chemistry of the superconducting copper oxides, the sulfosalts, the metal cluster compounds, the silicates and the transition metal borides and related compounds. In the case of intermetalic compounds the intergrowth concept is found to be very useful for an "understanding" of complicated atom arrangements. At the end of each chapter there can be found problems and their solutions. This makes it possible for (advanced) undergraduates in chemistry, physics, metallurgy, materials science and mineralogy to be able to profit from a study of this book.
Symmetry relationships between crystal structures and their practical applications; cluster solid state chemistry - a frontier discipline between metallurgy and molecular chemistry; structural and bonding principles in metal halide cluster chemistry; modern concepts of atom co-ordinations; atom volume and charge transfer in intermetallic compounds; the intergrowth concept as a useful tool to interpret and understand complicated intermetallic structures; introduction to the electronic structure of extended systems; crystal chemical formulae for inorganic structure types; crystal chemistry of complex sulfides (sulfosalts) and its chemical application; the bond valence method in crystal chemistry valence electron rules for compounds with tetrahedral structures and anionic tetrahedron comm plexes; structural principles of silicates, phosphates, sulphates and related structures; crystal chemistry of high T, superconducting oxides; competition between trigonal prisms and other co-ordination polyhedra in borides, carbides, silicides and phosphides.
