The space group P21/c has 8 points of inversion, 4 two-one screw axes; how many c-glide planes do you think are present? As with the points of inversion and twofold rotation axes, the glide planes are also spaced out in 1/2 unit cell increments.

For space group P1, there is only one symmetry equivalent position within the unit cell; the associated symmetry operator being listed simply as x,y,z. For space group P-1, there are now two symmetry equivalent positions within the unit cell due to the presence of the point of inversion.

The initial letter of a space group symbol represents the lattice type which may primitive (P), single-face centred (A, B, or C), all-face centred (F), body-centred (I), or rhomohedrally centred (R).

If an atomic arrangement contains two perpendicular 4-fold axes, it must contain a third and it must contain 3-fold axes, too. And, we just showed that the presence of a 42 axis require that a 2-fold axis is present. There are many other constraints, too, which is why the total number of space groups is only 230.

The space group of hexagonal H2O ice is P63/mmc. The first m indicates the mirror plane perpendicular to the c-axis (a), the second m indicates the mirror planes parallel to the c-axis (b), and the c indicates the glide planes (b) and (c). The black boxes outline the unit cell.

P21/c is a very special space group. Over 30 % of all known crystal structures. adopt this space group! Space group P21/c is based upon the point group 2/m with the. 2-fold rotation axis replaced with a 2-fold screw axis (by convention, the axis is the b axis in the monoclinic system).

The symmetry group of a three-dimensional crystal pattern is called its space group. In E2, the symmetry group of a two-dimensional crystal pattern is called its plane group. In E1, the symmetry group of a one-dimensional crystal pattern is called its line group.

In space group P222, the three twofold rotation axes all intersect at a single point, which is chosen as the origin for this space group. By contrast, in space group P212121 none of the two-one screw axes intersect at all.
