Aims & Scope

The Journal of Chemical Crystallography is an international and interdisciplinary publication dedicated to the rapid dissemination of research results in the general areas of crystallography and spectroscopy. Timely research reports detail topics in crystal chemistry and physics and their relation to problems of molecular structure; structural studies of solids, liquids, gases, and solutions involving spectroscopic, spectrometric, X-ray, and electron and neutron diffraction; and theoretical studies.
