13.1.2.2. Generalized noncrystallographic symmetry

| top | pdf |

Crystallographic methods similar to those which exploit standard noncrystallographic symmetry can often be applied to a more general situation, where similar subunits exist in different crystals (Scouloudi, 1969[link]; Tollin, 1969[link]) or where the structure of a subunit is already predictable (Hoppe, 1957[link]; Lattman & Love, 1970[link]). The types of relationship which may arise are summarized in the right-hand column of Table 13.1.2.1[link].
