Abstract

The current development level of new crystal chemical methods connected with the topological analysis of atomic nets is briefly reviewed. The terminology used to describe atomic nets is considered along with the main methods for their classification and some special issues such as the study of interpenetrating nets and tilings. It is noted that the crucial problem of the modern crystal chemistry is the search for regularities underlying the global properties of a structure (both geometric and topological) such as the atomic net topology, types of atomic and molecular packing, size and architecture of voids and channels.
