Name:
'_exptl_crystal_type_of_structure'

Definition:

   The type of structure. This is used to check the consistency of a
        CIF: the data blocks that are expected and/or certain characteristic
        parameters depend on whether the material is classified as crystalline
        (periodic in three dimensions), modulated or composite.


The data value must be one of the following:


cryst
crystalline structure

mod
modulated structure

comp
composite (misfit) structure

Enumeration default: cryst
