Product Review
"A key purchase for a wide population of scientists engaged in crystal structure determinationThe depth of coverage of important topics such as twinning and disorder will be very valuable to structural scientists, and will provide information and an approach that is not currently available. "--Alexander J. Blake, University of Nottingham
"A high quality text."--David J. Watkin, University of Oxford
Product Description
Crystal Structure Refinement is a mixture of textbook and tutorial. As A Crystallographers Guide to SHELXL it covers advanced aspects of practical crystal structure refinement, which have not been much addressed by textbooks so far. After an introduction to SHELXL in the first chapter, a brief survey of crystal structure refinement is provided. Chapters three and higher address the various aspects of structure refinement, from the treatment of hydrogen atoms to the assignment of atom types, to disorder, to non-crystallographic symmetry and twinning. One chapter is dedicated to the refinement of macromolecular structures and two short chapters deal with structure validation (one for small molecule structures and one for macromolecules). In each of the chapters the book gives refinement examples, based on the program SHELXL, describing every problem in detail. It comes with a CD-ROM with all files necessary to reproduce the refinements.
Reader ReviewsIf your a beginner or intermediate this book is great for you. The Shelx manual is as hard to read as a normal manual tends to be. This book takes you through a lot of things step by step and is a good accompanying text to the manual. Its well worth the money and written by someone who knows what he is talking about....
