There are 230 space groups in three dimensions, given by a number index, and a full name in Hermann–Mauguin notation, and a short name (international short symbol). The long names are given with spaces for readability. The groups each have a point group of the unit cell.
The affine space group type is determined by the underlying abstract group of the space group. In three dimensions, Fifty-four of the affine space group types preserve chirality and give chiral crystals. The two enantiomorphs of a chiral crystal have the same affine space group. Arithmetic crystal classes (73 in three dimensions)
The following space groups have inversion symmetry: the triclinic space group 2, the monoclinic 10-15, the orthorhombic 47-74, the tetragonal 83-88 and 123-142, the trigonal 147, 148 and 162-167, the hexagonal 175, 176 and 191-194, the cubic 200-206 and 221-230.
The non-chiral Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model (=), can be associated with symmetry class BDI with an integer topological invariant due to gauge invariance. [6] [7] The problem is similar to the integer quantum Hall effect and the quantum anomalous Hall effect (both in =) which are A class, with integer Chern number.
The triclinic crystal system class names, examples, Schönflies notation, Hermann-Mauguin notation, point groups, International Tables for Crystallography space group number, [1] orbifold, type, and space groups are listed in the table below. There are a total of 2 space groups.
[5]: 1138ff First, while nevertheless appearing to be twisted, they yet may have a chiral center making them analogous to any simple chiral compound, and second, while again appearing twisted, the specific location of substituents, as with alkylidenecycloalkanes, may make a spiro compound display central chirality (rather than axial chirality ...
In the classification of crystals, to each space group is associated a crystallographic point group by "forgetting" the translational components of the symmetry operations. That is, by turning screw rotations into rotations, glide reflections into reflections and moving all symmetry elements into the origin.
Many chiral molecules have point chirality, namely a single chiral stereogenic center that coincides with an atom. This stereogenic center usually has four or more bonds to different groups, and may be carbon (as in many biological molecules), phosphorus (as in many organophosphates ), silicon, or a metal (as in many chiral coordination ...
