Table 11.

Quaternary lattice metric singularity. The four lattices yield the same set of unique calculated d-spacings. For each lattice, the table gives the conventional cell along with the corresponding reduced cell and normalized reduced form. The normalized reduced forms reveal extra specialization in forms F2–F4
