  Following the work already done by E. Looijenga and others, we provide an
analysis of the deformation types of Looijenga (or anticanonical) pairs
$(Y,D)$, where the anticanonical divisor $D$ is made of $n$ irreducible
components and $6\leq n \leq9$. In doing so we also give a description of their
toric models.
