Teaching Division:

Theoretical Chemistry and Crystallography

Course goals:

The lecture covers a concise introduction to crystallography. The aim of the course is to present the basic information about symmetry, necessary to describe chemical objects and/or crystals. The basic information concerning X-ray structural analysis that will allow students to use and understand scientific literature will also be presented

Course description:

The course covers the definition of the crystal and the most important properties of the crystalline state, the definition of the unit cell, crystal lattices, lattice directions and planes, crystal systems, Bravais lattice, Miller indices. The other important issues relevant to the study of crystallography are also included. These are: properties of symmetry of solids, unit cells, and lattices; spherical and stereographic projection, symmetry operations, point symmetry, translational symmetry, complex symmetry elements, coexistence of symmetry elements; point groups and space groups (Hermann-Maugin and Schönflies classification; close and the closest packing of spheres, reciprocal space - definition and properties, Ewald sphere construction. Properties of X-rays. Laue and Bragg’s diffraction theories. Basic experimental methods of X-ray crystallography. The outline of X-ray structural analysis - its applications and limitations.
