3.6.7.1.3. Atom types

| top | pdf |

The data items in this category are as follows:

ATOM_TYPE [Scheme scheme91]

The bullet ([\bullet]) indicates a category key. Items in italics have aliases in the core CIF dictionary formed by changing the full stop (.) to an underscore (_) except where indicated by the [\sim] symbol.

The ATOM_TYPE category, which provides information about the atomic species associated with each atom site in the model of the structure, is used in the same way in the mmCIF dictionary as in the core CIF dictionary. See Section 3.2.4.1.3[link] for details.
