In crystallography, a crystallographic point group is a three dimensional point group whose symmetry operations are compatible with a three dimensional crystallographic lattice. According to the crystallographic restriction it may only contain one-, two-, three-, four- and sixfold rotations or rotoinversions. This reduces the number of ...
These groups are characterized by an n-fold improper rotation axis S n, where n is necessarily even. The S 2 group is the same as the C i group in the nonaxial groups section. S n groups with an odd value of n are identical to C nh groups of same n and are therefore not considered here (in particular, S 1 is identical to C s).
when the point group has an inversion center, the subscript g (German: gerade or even) signals no change in sign, and the subscript u (ungerade or uneven) a change in sign, with respect to inversion. with point groups C ∞v and D ∞h the symbols are borrowed from angular momentum description: Σ, Π, Δ. Atomic orbital symmetry
For example, symbols 4 / m 2 / m 2 / m and 6 / m 2 / m 2 / m can be simplified to 4/mmm (or 4 / m mm) and 6/mmm (or 6 / m mm), but not to mmm; the short symbol for 3 2 / m is 3 m. The full and short symbols for all 32 crystallographic point groups are given in ...
The ethynyl radical (systematically named λ 3-ethyne and hydridodicarbon(C—C)) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C≡CH (also written [CCH] or C 2 H).It is a simple molecule that does not occur naturally on Earth but is abundant in the interstellar medium.
The 54 hemisymmorphic space groups contain only axial combination of symmetry elements from the corresponding point groups. Example for point group 4/mmm (): hemisymmorphic space groups contain the axial combination 422, but at least one mirror plane m will be substituted with glide plane, for example P4/mcc (, 35h), P4/nbm (, 36h), P4/nnc ...
The table below organizes the space groups of the monoclinic crystal system by crystal class. It lists the International Tables for Crystallography space group numbers, [ 2 ] followed by the crystal class name, its point group in Schoenflies notation , Hermann–Mauguin (international) notation , orbifold notation, and Coxeter notation, type ...
The entries consist of characters, the traces of the matrices representing group elements of the column's class in the given row's group representation. In chemistry, crystallography, and spectroscopy, character tables of point groups are used to classify e.g. molecular vibrations according to their symmetry, and to predict whether a transition ...
