Visualizing and teaching crystallographic symmetry using Jmol
Abstract
The Jmol Space Group Symmetry Visualizer website provides a modular set of interactive pages for the visualization of symmetry groups, including both space groups and plane groups, as well as subperiodic groups (frieze, rod, and layer). Groups and group-subgroup relationships are illustrated using a variety of molecular and ionic structures.
