Reading a crystallography paper

Although I have reproduced parts of the published experimental procedures here (with the permission of the authors and publisher), you may wish to obtain these papers from your library and read them before proceeding with this example. See Footnotes 1 and 2 for complete references. 

In the following material, sections taken from the original papers are presented in smaller type. Annotations are in the usual type size. For convenience, figures and tables are renumbered in sequence with those of this chapter. For access to references cited in excerpts, see the complete papers. Stereo illustrations of maps and models (not part of the papers) are derived from files kindly provided by Zhaohui Xu. I am indebted to Xu and to Leonard J. Banaszak for allowing me to use their work as an example and for supplying me with an almost complete reconstruction of this structure determination project. 

All reprinted parts of this paper (cited in Footnote 1) appear with the permission of Professor Leonard J. Banaszak and the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc., publisher of Journal cf Biological Chemistry.

The following paragraph is an excerpt from the preliminary (8/91) paper, Experimental Procedures section

Although large numbers of papers are published each month detailing some aspect or other of perovskite physics and chemistry, it is felt that an extensive literature reference section would overwhelm any reader seeking a broad overview of the field. Because of this, the Further Reading sections contain mainly reviews or selected recent references that expand material in the text. These are sufficient to provide an entry point to the literature base for those needing additional information. In addition a few sources that explain the basic concepts of crystallography and structure-property relationships are added, and two appendices are included that explain two rather more specialist aspects of nomenclature.
