Connectivity pattern

Examples

The layers are stacked along the [001] direction using the following connectivity patterns

Symmetry Operation^*	Translation^*	Comment	Image
i	None	one inversion center shown as an open circle in the example
m	None	mirror plane shown as a soid line in the example

^* relative to the first layer


Effect on channel system
	The disorder does not block the 1-dimensional channel system

Simplest ordered end members

The color of each layer reflects the symmetry/translation operation used to generate it from the previous layer (see table above).
