Modulated structures dictionary (msCIF) version 3.2.1
_space_group_symop.ssg_operation_algebraic
Name:_space_group_symop.ssg_operation_algebraic
Alias:
_space_group_symop_ssg_operation_algebraic
Definition:
A parsable string giving one of the symmetry operations of the
superspace group in algebraic form. These data will generally be
repeated in a loop. Use symbols as necessary according to
_cell_modulation_dimension.
All symmetry operations should be entered, including the
identity operation, those for lattice centring and that for
a centre of symmetry, if present. The symbolic notation for
coordinates is such that the identity operation is expressed
as x1,x2,x3,...,xn.
_space_group_symop_ssg_operation_algebraic must always be present
in a CIF corresponding to a modulated structure.
Example:| x1,-x2,x3,1/2+x4 |
