X-Ray diffraction studies on electron density in organic crystals

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The review presents the advances in precision X-ray diffraction studies on electron density in organic crystals carried out during the last several years. The methods for the elimination of and allowance for experimental errors, procedures used to interpret the results, and the characteristic features of the distributions of the deformation electron density in organic molecules are discussed.The bibliography includes 126 references.

“…The results concerning Hal-aggregation in monohalogenated benzoic acids are presented in this issue [107]. Bader's topological analysis of the electron density distribution, which provides a basis for the quantitative characterisation of the different interactions, was also within Zorky scope [58,98]. The application of this method to the comparison between F...H and H...H interactions in the crystal of tetrafluoro-o-carborane is described in this issue by Glukhov et al [115].…”
