Abstract: A crystal structure descriptor ('fingerprint function') based on a normalized radial distribution function is presented. Unlike earlier prototypes developed mainly for use in crystal structure prediction, data mining and machine‐learning workflows, the presented approach is focused on applications in the field of comparative crystal chemistry. Its prospective applications include the classification of large datasets of chemically heterogeneous crystal structures or 'search match' problems, when structures homeotypic to a given structure are searched for throughout a database. Practical aspects of the proposed approach are illustrated with real‐life examples from the Crystallography Open Database. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
