Abstract
In the large family of ternary compounds one could expect to find systematic trends for the various physical properties. For instance the geometrical arrangement of the atoms is, in most ternaries, tetrahedral. Beyond qualitative laws very few quantitative relationships have been established between cristallographic structures and other physical and chemical properties Topics such as tetrahedral distortion, structural stability, amorphism, ionicity, anionic compounds are reviewed. Several questions are outlined which have not yet been given satisfactory answers
