Polymorphism in Molecular Crystals

by Joel Bernstein

Book Overview

Polymorphism--the multiplicity of structures or forms--is a term that is used in many disciplines. In chemistry it refers to the existence of more than one crystal structure for a particular chemical substance. The properties of a substance are determined by its composition and by its
