Pharmaceutical Crystallography A Guide to Structure and Analysis
Pharmaceutical Crystallography: A Guide to Structure and Analysis by Andrew Bond, published by the Royal Society of Chemistry on July 24, 2019, spans 292 pages and is presented in English. This book addresses the growing recognition within the pharmaceutical industry of the significance of solid-state structures, particularly as many pharmaceutical scientists may lack formal training in crystallography. It offers a comprehensive overview of essential concepts related to solid-state structure, focusing on small-molecule pharmaceutical solids.
Readers will find an intuitive and informal approach to understanding modern crystallography, including discussions on molecular crystals, symmetry, space groups, and various X-ray diffraction techniques. The book also emphasizes the analysis and interpretation of crystallographic data, supplemented by practical case studies from the pharmaceutical literature. This resource is designed for those seeking clarity in crystallographic concepts, making it relevant for both pharmaceutical scientists and chemists interested in X-ray crystal-structure determination.
Official synopsis Publisher
The pharmaceutical industry has become acutely aware of the importance of the solid state, but pharmaceutical scientists often lack specific training in topics related to solid-state structure and crystallography. This book provides needed support in this topical area.
Taking an intuitive and informal approach to solid-state structure and crystallographic concepts, this book is written for anyone who needs a clear understanding of modern crystallography, with specific reference to small-molecule pharmaceutical solids. The author describes molecular crystals and crystal structures, symmetry, space groups, single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction techniques and the analysis and interpretation of crystallographic data. Useful technical details are presented where necessary and case studies from the pharmaceutical literature put theory into a practical context.
Written by an internationally leading figure and with its focus on molecular crystals, this book is equally applicable to chemists with a need to understand and apply X-ray crystal-structure determination.
