2.1 Basics of Structures

Determination of the ionic radius

Structure analyses,

most important method:
Ionic radius = d – r(F, O…) X-ray diffraction

L. Pauling:

• Radius of one ion is fixed to a reasonable value (r(O ) = 140 pm)
2-

• That value is used to compile a set of self consistent values for other ions.
