Summary:

"This primer introduces readers to the vibrant and diverse world of solids, offering a comprehensive overview of their fundamentals, synthesis, and characterization. It highlights the versatility of solid-state chemistry, showing its wide-ranging applications. The primer consists of three core chapters and parting thoughts (CHAPTER 4). CHAPTER 1 lays out the basic considerations in the world of solids by answering the following core question: How can we define and classify solids? You will learn about crystalline structures, the diverse classifications of metals in the periodic table, as well as their electronic structure and chemical behavior. CHAPTER 2 answers the second core question: How can we synthesize (new) solids? The authors describe the main pieces of equipment that are necessary for the different synthesis techniques. Beyond that, you will also learn the basics of thermodynamics and kinetics regarding reaction control, planning, and prediction. CHAPTER 3 answers the third core question: What did we actually synthesize? Even if you have planned and executed a synthesis experiment properly, for example, based on literature reports, you must ensure that the experiment was successful by characterizing your product in detail. Only then can you move towards meaningfully analyzing and discussing the product's (functional) properties. For this purpose, we list and explain the most common characterization techniques in solid-state chemistry, focusing on the information gained. Whether you are brand new to the field or an experienced solid-state chemist looking for (synthesis) inspiration, the authors hope you find helpful concepts, explanations, and ideas in this primer and feel empowered to be a part of the exciting world of solids."-- Provided by publisher.
