Abstract

The MIF (multiple implication function) group symmetry was assigned to all 230 space groups. Knowledge of MIF symmetry allows the calculation of an asymmetric unit. A more accurate procedure for calculating MIFs has been developed. Extensive tables of MIF symmetry and asymmetric units were computer generated. The development of implication theory for crystal structure determination seems to have reached completion.
