TL;DR: ToposPro as mentioned in this paper is a topological analysis of crystal structures realized in the current version of the program package ToposPro, which can be used to analyze various classes of chemical compounds including coordination polymers, molecular crystals, supramolecular ensembles, inorganic ionic compounds, intermetallics, fast-ion conductors, microporous materials.

TL;DR: In this article, a list of interpenetrating metal-organic 3D structures from CSD is presented, which are analyzed on the basis of their topologies and interesting trends and novel features have been observed.

TL;DR: The principal features of the package are management of crystal structure information with DBMS (database management system) which has gateways to the CSD and ICSD databases and comprehensive analysis of geometrical and topological properties of crystal structures (employing the programs Dirichlet, AutoCN, ADS, DiAn, IsoCryst and IsoTest).

TL;DR: The various kinds of symbols used to characterize the topology of vertices in 3-periodic nets, tiles and polyhedra, and symbols for tilings are reviewed, making a recommendation for uniform nomenclature where there is some confusion and misapplication of terminology.

TL;DR: A recently developed approach to formalize the analysis of extended architectures by successive simplifications of a crystal structure perceived as a periodic net is discussed and the up-to-date methods for prediction of the topology of underlying nets are discussed.
