Abstract
Solids occur in very diverse crystal structures and a large part of solid state chemistry deals with crystals structures.1–3 Structural chemistry describes the atomic arrangements in solids and some of the consequences of the various structures for their chemical and physical properties. A small selection is given here to illustrate key aspects that are of interest to the materials chemist. The three primary bonding types are represented in the examples and some properties are shown to be the result of structural features.
