Product Description
This textbook gives a concise introduction to modern crystal structure determination, emphasizing both the crystallographic background and how to actually perform it. The theoretical sections give more importance to providing good understanding, supported by many illustrations, than to rigorously deriving the mathematics. The most important measuring techniques, including the use of modern area detectors, 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 completely updated and extended, especially the chapter on structure interpretation. From the reviews of the first edition ? |

Fast and in great condition by Aubrey Sperier (Minneapolis, MN)  5 Stars
March 13, 2009
I got it before class started and I only ordered it like a week before, so I was pleased with the speed and condition. Although it was only slightly cheaper than the book store, at least I was buying it from someone else.

The Book Doctors Recommend Most by Dr. Peter Muller (Cambridge, MA) 5 Stars
August 14, 2005
This is the ideal book for the beginner and in my opinion a must-read. In the excellent translation by Robert O. Gould, "Crystal Structure Determination" by Werner Massa explains all the basics from symmetry in real and reciprocal space, over generation of X-rays and other practical aspects, all the way to structure solution and refinement. Massa keeps the book simple and understandable and uses mathematical formulae carefully and only when helpful or necessary.
I learned the basics of crystallography from the German original of "the Massa". Now that I am a teacher of crystallography myself, this is the book I recommend to my students.

Useful tool for all dealing with structure determination by Andreas Fischer (Stockholm, Sweden) 5 Stars
September 12, 2001
Single crystal structure determination has become an important and extremely powerful tool not only for inorganic and structural chemists but for all kinds of chemists interested in the structures of their compounds. The major disadvantage of this method was hitherto the lack of useful introductions into it's practical use.This gap has been filled by Massa's book.It focuses - unlike other crystallography books - on the practical applications and enables the reader to attack own structural problems by himself. Additionally, this book will provide the necessary theoretical background to understand how X-ray diffraction works, how crystals are built, all this symmetry stuff and so on.The absolute highlight is, however, the step-by-step explanation of a structure determination, where one can almost see the author sitting in front of his computer and struggling with one of his structures, explaining every step in detail.Crystallography still needs heavy brain work sometimes. But this book won't cause unnecessary headaches as many other crystallography books do.Therefore, I recommend this book warmly to my crystallography students.

| X-Ray Structure Determination: A Practical Guide, 2nd Edition
by George H. Stout (Author), Lyle H. Jensen (Author)
Closely follows an actual structural determination. After some introductory material on the nature of x-rays, the diffraction process, and the internal geometry of crystals, the selection and preparation of a crystal are considered. Techniques of measuring raw x-ray data are covered, plus their reduction into a useable form. The second part discusses both traditional and novel methods of solving the ``phase'' problem, the principal difficulty in x-ray structure determination. The third part...
