Glide plane also exists for 3D space group with more possibility Symmetry planes normal to the plane of projection
Symmetry planes parallel to plane of projection 3/8 1/8 The presence of a d-glide plane automatically implies a centered lattice!
http://img.chem.ucl.ac.uk/sgp/mainmenu.htm http://xrayweb.chem.ou.edu/notes/symmetry.html In a recent version of the International Tables for Crystallography, Vol. A, the double glide called the e-glide is described.14 The e glide occurs only in centered cells and is defined by one plane with two perpendicular glide vectors related by a centering operation. This type of glide was proposed by the third Nomenclature Report of the IUCr.15 Take a look at the notation for space group (non-trivia). There are convention (see the reason for them for a few examples). Then, we would like to pass around representation of some none-trivia space groups.

Maximum length Intermedium length Conventions: Magnitudes of Translation determine a, b, and c in orthorhombic: A-, B-, C- base centered What symmetry go first?
lattice for orthorhombic: C Short symbol No. 17 orthorhombic that can be derived
http://chemistry.osu.edu/~woodward/ch754/sym_itc.htm • Cubic – The secondary symmetry symbol will always be either 3 or –3 (i.e. Ia3, Pm3m, Fd3m) • Tetragonal – The primary symmetry symbol will always be either 4, (-4), 41, 42 or 43 (i.e. P41212, I4/m, P4/mcc) • Hexagonal – The primary symmetry symbol will always be a 6, (-6), 61, 62, 63, 64 or 65 (i.e. P6mm, P63/mcm) • Trigonal – The primary symmetry symbol will always be a 3, (-3) 31 or 32 (i.e P31m, R3, R3c, P312)
Orthorhombic– All three symbols following the lattice descriptor will be either mirror planes, glide planes, 2-fold rotation or screw axes (i.e. Pnma, Cmc21, Pnc2) • Monoclinic – The lattice descriptor will be followed by either a single mirror plane, glide plane, 2-fold rotation or screw axis or an axis/plane symbol (i.e. Cc, P2, P21/n) • Triclinic – The lattice descriptor will be followed by either a 1 or a (-1).
What can we do with the space group information contained in the International Tables? 1. Generating a Crystal Structure from its Crystallographic Description 2. Determining a Crystal Structure from Symmetry & Composition

Determining a Crystal Structure from Symmetry & Composition Example: Consider the following information: Stoichiometry = SrTiO3Space Group = Pmma = 3.90 ÅDensity = 5.1 g/cm3
First step: calculate the number of formula units per unit cell : Formula Weight SrTiO3 = 87.62 + 47.87 + 3(16.00) = 183.49 g/mol (M) Unit Cell Volume = (3.9010-8cm)3 = 5.93 10-23cm3 (V) (5.1 g/cm3)(5.93 10-23 cm3):weight in a unit cell (183.49 g/mole) /(6.0221023/mol) : weight of one molecule of SrTiO3
(5.1 g/cm3)(5.93 10-23 cm3)/ (183.49 g/mole/6.022 1023/mol) = 0.99 number of molecules per unit cell : 1 SrTiO3. From the space group tables (only part of it) http://www.cryst.ehu.es/cgi-bin/cryst/programs/nph-wp-list?gnum=221
