Item _symmetry.space_group_name_H-M

Description

              Hermann-Mauguin space-group symbol. Note that the H-M symbol does
               not necessarily contain complete information about the symmetry
               and the space-group origin. If used always supply the FULL symbol
               from International Tables for Crystallography, Vol. A (1987) and
               indicate the origin and the setting if it is not implicit. If
               there is any doubt that the equivalent positions can be uniquely
               deduced from this symbol specify the _symmetry_equiv.pos_as_xyz
               or _symmetry.space_group_name_Hall data items as well. Leave
               spaces between symbols referring to different axes.
