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

 
Symmetry
Operation*
Translation* Comment Image
i
  one inversion center shown as a blue open circle in the example
2
  one two-fold axis shown as a blue arrow or a blue ellipse in the example
 



 
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).
