This is really a page of space groups. They are an extension of point groups, which are normally for molecules. 220.244.224.8 05:19, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
No sorry, it really does go on to discuss molecular point groups, but they should be distinguished from space groups. Quite often in a molecular crystal, the crystal symmetry is different from the molecular.
[edit] Changed a redirect
Crystal class used to redirect to Crystal system. This was incorrect, so I changed it to redirect here, which I believe is more appropriate. Although there may be nuances here which I'm not certain about. Refs:

There seems to be better information on point groups on the Crystal system page? I dont know enough to fix the problem.. can someone who knows their stuff please fix it. 60.234.48.118 23:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
