Vertical Symmetry Planes in C4v - Otterbein
Jul 17, 2019 · An interesting question was raised by a user about the placement of the vertical symmetry planes for C 4v molecules in the Gallery. If we look at the BrF 5 example specifically, the question becomes: should the vertical (σ v ) planes each pass through four atoms (the bromine atom and three of the fluorine atoms) with the dihedral (σ d ...

This page illustrates the symmetries of the 32 crystallographic point groups as solid objects decorated with patterns to give the appropriate symmetry. These representations were adapted from figures presented in Ashcroft and Mermin, Solid State Physics .
Crystallographic Resources at Otterbein University
X-ray crystallography is a powerful method for determining the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in all types of crystalline solids. These materials are designed to help students understand various aspects of crystallography and crystallographic symmetry. Visualization/Teaching Tools
