chemical crystallography
The Working Group Chemical Crystallography (ChemKrist) of the GDCh Division of Analytical Chemistry is concerned with crystal structural analysis as an analytical method for solving chemical questions – in close cooperation with people who use X-ray and neutron structural analysis; in addition to single-crystal methods, this primarily also includes powder diffractometry. Founded in 1979 in Frankfurt am Main as the Working Group Crystal Structural Analysis of Molecular Compounds (KSAM), it has been known as ChemKrist since 1999.
The working group pursues the following objectives:

Selected Crystallographic Journals
Introductory Texts on Crystallography
These short essays are not a substitute for textbooks, but make it easier to gain rapid access to the specialist literature. They are not original research papers, but rather “translations”. The authors have attempted to present journal articles or difficult-to-understand chapters from standard textbooks in such a way that they help readers get started in the subject area.
