Crystal structure model of the α phase of P.O.13. Ordered two-layer model, after optimization by DFT-d. View direction [010]. (a) Molecular packing, with symmetry elements shown (space group Pbc21). (b). First single layer (0 < y < 0.5, layer A), with symmetry elements. Unit cell and symmetry elements of the crystal structure are drawn in black. The layer group of an individual layer is P12/c1. The corresponding unit cell and symmetry elements of the single layer are drawn in red. Note that the origin of the red unit cell is located at y = [1\over 4], i.e. in the centre of the layer. In the ordered two-layer model (Pbc21), only the c-glide plane is a crystallographic (global) symmetry element, whereas 2 and [\bar 1] are only local ones. In the ordered four-layer model (space group P21/c, see below), only the inversion centre is a global symmetry element. (c) Second single layer (0.5 < y < 1, layer B), being symmetrically equivalent to the first one.
