| Abstract: | Physical principles underlying the local valency balance rule are discussed. It is shown that crystal stability does not obey
the rule. Some more general rules of valent crystal structures are considered, and the corresponding equations, including
Pauling's rules for one-aniont crystals as a particular case, are given. The equations may be used for analyses and predictions
of complex structures.
