21st Century Challenges in Chemical Crystallography I: History and Technical Developments

This volume summarises recent developments and possible future directions for small molecule X—ray crystallography. It reviews specific areas of crystallography which are rapidly developing and places them in a historical context. The interdisciplinary nature of the technique is emphasised throughout. It introduces and describes the chemical crystallographic and synchrotron facilities which have been at the cutting edge of the subject in recent decades. The introduction of new computer—base...
