There have been many advances in x-ray crystallography since the
production of the third edition of this book, and the authors have
endeavoured to introduce a number of them into this new edition.
The overall plan of the book has been maintained because we believe
that it has been well received in the academic community, but
substantial revisions have been carried out and new material and
chapters added. In particular, we have extended the discussion of
the theory of x-ray diffraction and added new chapters on structure
determination from powder data, on macromolecular crystallography,
and on computational procedures in x-ray crystallography. We
consider that x-ray crystallography is a universal tool for
studying molecular structure, a view upheld by the pioneers in the
subject, notably W.H. & W.L. Bragg, J. D. Bernal, Dorothy
Hodgkin (nA(c)e Crowfoot), Kathleen Lonsdale (nA(c)e Yardley), and
Linus Pauling, so that the broadening of the scope of the text in
this way is fully justified.
We have maintained the practice of devising problems to illustrate
the work of each chapter, and have provided detailed, tutorial
solutions. The appendices contain mostly mathematical procedures
related to the material of the main text.
This edition is accompanied by a suite of computer programs on a
compact disc. The programs enable the reader to participate fully
in many of the aspects of x-ray crystallography discussed in the
book. In particular, the program system XRAY* is interactive, and
enables the reader to follow through, at the monitor screen, the
computational techniques involved in single-crystal structure
determination, albeit in two dimensions. Several sets of x-ray data
areprovided for practice with this system.
