Connectivity pattern

Examples

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

Symmetry Operation^*	Translation^*	Comment	Image
	1/2 a + 1/3 b
	1/2 a - 1/3 b

^* relative to the previous layer


Effect on channel system
	The disorder does not block the 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).
