This monograph is intended to give the reader an appreciation of
the wealth of phases, elements and inorganic compounds, which
crystallize in layer-type or two dimensional structures. Originally
this work was planned as a short review article but the large
number of phases made it grow out to the size of a book. As is
evident from the arrangement of the chapters our point of view was
gradually transmuting from geometric to chemical. Moreover, the
decision about the compounds that should be discussed was taken
only during the course of the work, as is partly evident from the
sequence of the references. For chemical or geometrical reason we
have included also certain layered chain and molecular structures
as well as some layered structures whose layers are linked by
hydrogen bonds, thus are in fact three-dimensional. Instead of
writing only a review with pseudo-scientific interpretations that
later turn out to be wrong anyway we thought it more profitable to
include the crystallographic data which are scattered in various
original articles and hand books but never in one single volume. We
have transcribed many of the data in order to make them correspond
with the standard settings of the International Tables for X-Ray
Crystallography. The figures are consistent with the data given in
the tables. We apologize for errors and hope that their number is
at a reasonably low level in spite of the time pressure."
