| Mar 6, 2023 at 13:23 | comment | added | Roger V. | The way I understand it, it is still valid... but the symmetry of the underlying lattice is different. If you started with the correct symmetry, then the law would hold. I am not an expert in crystallography - this is just my guess. | |
| Mar 6, 2023 at 13:17 | comment | added | SalahTheGoat | @rogerVadim when you combine the square lattice with the motif shown (which has 3 fold rotational sym), the resulting structure seems to have greatly reduced symmetry. But this combination is deemed invalid for some reason and im not sure why. Why is it an invalid structure? | |
| Mar 6, 2023 at 12:07 | comment | added | Roger V. | Don't you get a different (possibly higher) symmetry in this example? It then means that you started with a wrong lattice. | |
