Schönflies Notation

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Schoenflies notation or Schönflies notation, named after the German mathematician Arthur Moritz Schönflies, is one of two conventions commonly used to describe crystallographic point groups. This notation is used in spectroscopy. The other convention is the Hermann-Mauguin notation, also known as the International notation. A point group in the Schoenflies convention is completely adequate to describe the symmetry of a molecule; this is sufficient for spectroscopy. The Hermann-Maunguin notation is able to describe the space group of a crystal lattice, while the Schoenflies notation isn't. Thus the Hermann-Maunguin notation is used in crystallography.
