Description
Inorganic Crystal Structures provides a system which introduces order into the vast, and still growing, mass of facts on crystal structures. The treatment is comprehensive and adaptable enough to be applied to structures not covered here. Each type of polyhedron is depicted in a uniform way - octahedra by line-shading (usually) one face, tetrahedra by dotting, and so on. A few difficult structures are described in more than one way. This system is preferable to the more 'three-dimensional' drawings such as clinographic projections, for many very complex structures yield readily to it. Further, the system readily accommodates inorganic, mineral and metallurgical structures, revealing their many similarities. This text will be of benefit to solid state chemists and physicists, materials scientists, metallurgists, mineralogists, ceramists and crystallographers.

Schweitzer Classification
Content
Part 1: cubic-close-packed arrays (usually of anions) projected along the diagonal of an octahedron - a four-fold axis; hexagonal-close-packed arrays (usually of anions) projected along the three-fold axis normal to the close-packed layers; hexagonal-close-packed arrays projected along an axis parallel to a CP plane but normal to a CP row in that plane; hexagonal-close-packed arrays projected along a CP row of atoms. Part 2: projection along the shortest axis of the FCC; projection along the shortest axis of mixed (H+C) stackings; primitive cubic arrays and derived structures; primitive hexagonal arrays and some derived and related structures; the stereochemistry of Valence and lone pair electrons; topological transformations; noncommensurate Vernier or Nonius structures; structures that can be related to BCC or PC packing; alloy structures with edge-capped tetrahedra, octahedra, square antiprisms, stellae quadrangulae and/or tetraedersterns; silicate structures.
