Solid State Chemistry: Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of Selected Oxides and Sulfides - Rilegato
Sinossi
This is the first text on solid state chemistry to emphasize the importance of careful synthesis and characterization in understanding the properties of important classes of inorganic solids - transition metal oxides and sulfides, zinc sulfide, tin sulfide, and diamond. Throughout the book, simple band theory concepts are applied to understanding the physical properties of complex materials. Compounds included in the book are organized according to crystal structure and were selected on the basis of their purity and reproducibility in the laboratory. These include many widely used solid state materials, such as high-temperature oxide superconductors, diamond films, catalysts, semiconductors, and magnetic materials.
Five short introductory chapters present the elements of crystal structure and crystallography, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of solids; and phase diagrams using a level of physics that should be accessible to any senior chemistry student. Following this tutorial section, the authors treat the synthesis of oxides as both polycrystalline solids and single crystals and discuss a number of binary as well as ternary oxides. A similar treatment follows for a number of the sulfides.
Throughout the book, compounds are classified according to structure type and illustrated by clear drawings. Each chapter includes problems (many with answers) that test the student's ability to apply the principles discussed and encourage further reading in the literature. The overview of some of the fundamental areas of solid state chemistry and the emphasis on sample preparation will be appreciated by anyone working in the field.

Recensione
The authors have chosen not to attempt to compromise and have set out to provide a text for a specific but relatively small corner of the field of solid state chemistry, one that could be taught to undergraduates over a single semester. Their objective has been to discuss the synthetic techniques and properties of some oxides and sulphides that are known to be highly reproducible in the laboratory and based on the author's personal experiences ... in addition there are problems that are meant to stimulate thinking and thereby improve the understanding of essential concepts. It is these questions - they are not exactly problems - that provide the basis of the title Tutorial for the first part of the book, and answers are provided to some of them. This is a particularly noteworthy feature and will be appreciated by those who teach solid state chemistry at the undergraduate level ... in brief, I found the book both stimulating and readable. - Times Higher Educational Supplement; The authors have chosen not to attempt to compromise and have set out to provide a text for a specific but relatively small corner of the field of solid state chemistry, one that could be taught to undergraduates over a single semester.
