Abstract
This work is a critical compilation of the crystallographic data of structure types found among inorganic compounds, oxides and halides only exceptionally included, reported up to 1993. With respect to other compilations of inorganic structure type data, it is characterized by two main differences. The first is that the crystallographic data are presented in a standardized form, which facilitates the recognition of isotypic compounds and the classification of the structure types. The second is that, in addition to the purely crystallographic parameters, information is given on crystal chemical features and relationships between different structure types.
