Abstract

In order to form mixed crystals of the substitutional type between two substances A and B, the component molecules A and B must be similar in size and shape. The measure of similarity is expressed by the coefficient of molecular homeomorphism. In order to form a continuous series of mixed crystals, the component substances must be isomorphous. The chapter starts with an historical overview and ends with a precise statement of the conditions for isomorphism.
