Crystal Chemical Formulae for Inorganic Structure Types

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 382))

Abstract

Based on the nomenclature report of the IUCr (1990) the concepts of isopointal, isoconfigurational, isotypic and homeotypic structures are described and illustrated by several examples. The notation proposed in this report for the crystal - chemical formulae is also developed, including the symbologies for close packings which are not closest, and for the condensation process of the structural units.
