Strukturbericht designation

The Strukturbericht designation is a systematic classification system used to identify and categorize crystal structures in the field of solid-state chemistry and materials science. Developed by H. C. M. de Wolff and his collaborators, it provides a way to describe the arrangement of atoms in a crystalline solid by using a letter (usually a capital letter) and a number to characterize the structure type. The system organizes structures based on their symmetry and the arrangement of atoms within the unit cell.
