a

Total number of compounds with specified reduced form.

b

Number of compounds reported as monoclinic. For these compounds, the crystal symmetry is less than the metric symmetry.

c

Number of compounds reported as orthorhombic. For these compounds, the crystal symmetry is equal to the metric symmetry.

d

Orthorhombic I- centered (i.e., 1st letter = system; 2nd letter = centering).
