For the last fifty years, X-ray crystallography and allied methods have been one of the most important analytical techniques for chemical analysis. With improved equipment, computers, and programs, the time required for such determinations has been reduced from months to hours. However, crystallography has never found its way into chemical education. There are many reasons for this failure, but the result has been most chemists having little understanding of the method beyond operating equipment and running black box programs.This book provides a basic education on crystallographic methods. As much as possible, it is non-mathematical, and written in language that chemists use. It is designed for the instruction of senior undergraduate students and beginning graduate students, but will also be of interest to any chemist who has had no instruction in crystallography. Much of the book provides information that can be used by chemists who do not plan to conduct crystallographic studies themselves.

The present volume continues the aim of Structure Reports to present critical accounts of all crystallographic structure determinations. Details of the arrange­ ment in the volumes, symbols used etc. are given in previous volumes (e. g. 41B or 42A, pages vi-viü). University of Guelph, G.

The general arrangement follows the classification used in the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Base and is: aliphatic or open chain compounds; open chains with N, S; benzene derivatives; c cyclic hydrocarbons; condensed ring systems; heterocyclic compounds; carbohydrates; amino acids; natural products; molecular complexes; organometallic compounds - B, Si, P, AJJ, Sb, groups lA, IIA, III, IV, VI; transition meta! complexes - . .

This volume contains most of the invited lectures of the 2nd Structural Chemistry Indaba on "Molecular Interactions," held at Skukuza, Kruger Park, South Africa, August 3- 8, 1997. While the 1995 conference concentrated more on the principles underlying molecular modeling, like the existence of a molecular shape, this conference centers on molecular interactions or, more generally, on molecules in environments. Unfortunately, it was impossible, for various reasons, to unite all invited lectures in this volume, but nevertheless this collection contains contributions ranging from the fundamental quantum mechanical theory to recent research on organometallic crystals. For a summary, I would like to refer the reader to the introductory chapter by S.O. Sommerer, based on his concluding remarks at the conference.
