Abstract
It is shown how (a) the number of electrons per formula unit and (b) the energy difference between the transition metal d orbitals and the main group element s, p orbitals are of paramount importance in determining the crystal structures of MX and MX 2 systems. The occurrence of some fifty diverse structural types may be organized by using these two parameters.
