Properties of the international symbols International Tables for Crystallography (2006). Vol. A, ch. 12.3, pp. 823-832 [ doi:10.1107/97809553602060000526 ] Abstract The standard Schoenflies, Shubnikov and short and full international space-group symbols used in the present edition and the 1935 edition of International Tables are extensively tabulated. Examples are given of how to derive the space group from the short international symbol and how to derive the full symbol from the short symbol. The derivation of symmetry elements that are not given explicitly in the full symbol is described. Standardization rules for the short symbols are given, and systematic absences and generalized symmetry (e.g. colour groups) are briefly discussed. |
