  • Using the work of (Kamermans, 1939), (Herrmann, 1943) designated the structure SrBr2 as Strukturbericht $C53$, and placed it in space group $Pnma$ #62. (Sass, 1963) pointed out that the structure proposed by Kamermans did not agree with powder diffraction data, and proposed this structure, also found by (Frit, 1969). (Parthé, 1993) gives the current structure the $C53$ designation. We will follow the original Strukturbericht, and give the $C53$ designation to the $Pnma$ structure.
