Crystal twinning in the structure of (1). Black – monoclinic C-centered unit cell (option F); blue – the unit cell related to it by 180° rotation about c*; the red dotted line corresponds to the apparent orthorhombic unit cell (option A). The monoclinic b axis is perpendicular to the ac plane. Due to the nearly exact orthorhombic metric symmetry the overlap of the two reciprocal lattices is exact within experimental error. |
