Ionic crystals generally possess isotropic and close-packed structures and are unsuitable for creating nano-spaces. In this work, “porous ionic crystals” will be constructed by the use of molecular ...

AN attempt 1 to resolve misunderstandings regarding ionic-covalent bonding in solids ... zinc blende structure and in many other types of crystal, as well as in co-ordination complex molecules).

We have also developed an apparatus to measure both solubility and diffusivity of gases in ionic liquids. This work is being done in collaboration with Professor Doug Gin. Liquid crystals can be ...

The lattice arrangement continues in three dimensions. This is why solid ionic compounds form crystals with regular shapes.

The lattice arrangement continues in three dimensions. This is why solid ionic compounds form crystals with regular shapes.

The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit cell with ion locations indicated (a) and a space filling model (b ...
