Table 1 Examples of pairs of chemical formulas of SuperCon entries and crystal structures. For each pair, the columns show the three similarity metrics (Eqs. 13). The subjective criterion for deciding if a match should be accepted or not was based on the consideration if both materials would have the same space group or not.

0.25

Does not match because each metric is above its threshold (severe stoichiometry change would be required).
