In crystallography , a Strukturbericht designation or Strukturbericht type is a system of detailed crystal structure classification by analogy to another known structure. The designations were intended to be comprehensive but are mainly used as supplement to space group crystal structures designations, especially historically. Each Strukturbericht designation is described by a single space group , but the designation includes additional information about the positions of the individual atoms, rather than just the symmetry of the crystal structure. While Strukturbericht symbols exist for many of the earliest observed and most common crystal structures, the system is not comprehensive, and is no longer being updated. Modern databases such as Inorganic Crystal Structure Database index thousands of structure types directly by the prototype compound (i.e. "the NaCl structure" instead of "the B1 structure"). These are essentially equivalent to the old Stukturbericht designations.
14-409: The designations were established by the journal Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – Crystalline Materials , which published its first round of supplemental reviews under the name Strukturbericht from 1913-1928. These reports were collected into a book published in 1931 by Paul Peter Ewald and Carl Hermann which became Volume 1 of Strukturbericht . While the series was continued after the war under
28-604: A name distinguishing it from the 1987 spin-off journal Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – New Crystal Structures . Beginning in December 2002, the journal has produced special issues with articles grouped around a single theme. Topics covered include the analysis of complex materials using pair distribution function methods, borates (double issue), hydrogen storage , in situ crystallisation , mathematical crystallography , mineral structures , nanocrystallography , phononic crystals , photocrystallography ,
42-590: Is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published in English. The journal publishes theoretical and experimental studies in crystallography of both organic and inorganic substances. The editor-in-chief of the journal is Rainer Pöttgen [ de ] from the University of Münster . The journal was founded in 1877 under the title Zeitschrift für Krystallographie und Mineralogie by crystallographer and mineralogist Paul Heinrich von Groth , who served as
56-496: Is abstracted and indexed in: According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal has a 2015 impact factor of 2.560, and it is ranked 8th amongst the 26 crystallography journals. Zeitschrift f%C3%BCr Kristallographie %E2%80%93 New Crystal Structures Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – New Crystal Structures is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published in English. Its first issue
70-742: The Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München . In 2016, the editor-in-chief was Hubert Huppertz ( Universität Innsbruck ). In the last years the journal sharpened its profile as a journal providing new crystal structure determinations (and redeterminations) together with a short description of the source of the material and the most important features of each structure.

84-532: The University of Strasbourg , established Zeitschrift für Krystallographie und Mineralogie in 1877; after several name changes, the journal adopted its present name, Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – Crystalline Materials , in 2010. The inaugural editors-in-chief were Hans Georg von Schnering of the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart and Heinz Hermann Schulz of
98-414: The application of precession electron diffraction methods, twinned crystals , and zeolites (double issue). On four occasions, one or two issues of the journal have been dedicated to the memory of a crystallographer or mineralogist, usually with a theme associated with the individual's work and a description of their contribution to the field. These are summarised in the table below: The journal
112-481: The data from 55 volumes of the journal covering 39 years of publications (1877–1915) plus other sources, Groth produced the five volume work Chemische Krystallographie between 1906 and 1919. This work catalogued the chemical and physical properties of the between 9,000 and 10,000 crystalline substances known at the time. It has used a series of names over its history (see table below), finally becoming Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – Crystalline Materials in 2010,
126-408: The editor for 44 years. It has used several titles over its history, with the present title having been adopted in 2010. The journal is indexed in a variety of databases and has a 2020 impact factor of 1.616. The journal was established in 1877 by Paul von Groth as a German-language publication under the title Zeitschrift für Krystallographie und Mineralogie , and he served as its editor until
140-575: The end of 1920. Groth was appointed as the inaugural Professor of Mineralogy at the University of Strasbourg in 1872 and made great contributions to the disciplines of mineralogy and crystallography both there and, from 1883, as the curator at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. Groth was the first to classify minerals according to their chemical composition and contributed to the understanding of isomorphism and morphotropy in crystalline systems. Using
154-488: The name Structure reports , which was published through 1990, the series stopped generating new symbols. Instead, some new additional designations were given in books by Smithels, and Pearson. For the first volume, the designation consisted of a capital letter (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,L,M,O) specifying a broad category of compounds, and then a number to specify a particular crystal structure. In the second volume, subscript numbers were added, some early symbols were modified (e.g. what

Originally, D1-D10 were set aside for stoichiometry AB 3 , D11-D20 for stoichiometry AB n for n > 3, D31-D50 for (AB n ) 2 , and D51 up for the A m B n for arbitrary m and n. (G-phase) Letters between 'E' and 'K' designate more complex compounds. 'L' designates intermetallic compounds .

Later designations began to use a lower case letter in subscripts as well. The 'A' compounds are reserved for structures made up of atoms of all the same chemical element . (ABAC Barlow packing ) 'B' designates compounds of two elements with equal numbers of atoms. 'C' designates compounds of

Created as a spin-off of Zeitschrift für Kristallographie for reporting novel and refined crystal structures , it began at volume 212 in order to remain aligned with the numbering of the parent journal.
