Definition and Exchange of Crystallographic Data

4.1. Core dictionary (coreCIF)

S. R. Hall, F. H. Allen and I. D. Brown

Abstract

This chapter presents the contents of the core CIF dictionary (coreCIF).

The data names defined in the coreCIF dictionary are central to the description and reporting of any crystal structure determination. They form the natural set of descriptors for small-unit-cell structures (inorganic or small-molecule organic and metal-organic compounds) determined in single-crystal experiments.

Version 2.3.1 of the coreCIF dictionary contains definitions for 701 data items grouped in 62 categories.
