The point group symmetry of materials is closely related to their physical properties and quite important for material modelling. However, superlattice materials have more complex symmetry conditions than crystals due to their multi-level structural feature. Thus, a theoretical framework is proposed to characterize and determine the point group symmetry of non-magnetic superlattice materials systematically. A variety of examples are presented to show the symmetry features of superlattice materials in different dimensions and scales. In addition, the deformation-induced symmetry-breaking phenomenon is also studied for superlattice materials, which has potential application in tuning physical properties by imposing a strain field.

In this paper the Szeged and revised Szeged indices of an infinite family of IPR fullerenes with 50 + 10n carbon atoms and D 5h point group symmetry are computed. It seems that some chemico-physical properties of these fullerenes are derived from the mentioned topological invariants.

The gas kinetic theory of nuclear magnetic relaxation of a polyatomic gas, as formulated in the previous paper, is evaluated for ZX3Y molecules relaxing via a dipolar coupling Hamiltonian. Stress is given to a proper treatment of point group symmetry, here C3v, and the possibility of molecular inversion is included. The detailed formula for the spin traces is however restricted to X nuclei with spin 1/2. A subsequent paper uses these results to elucidate the structure of the high density dependence of T1 forCF3H.

The organic–inorganic title salt, (C6H16N)2[Sn(C2O4)2Cl2] or ( i Pr2NH2)2[Sn(C2O4)2Cl2], was obtained by reacting bis(diisopropylammonium) oxalate with tin(IV) chloride dihydrate in methanol. The SnIV atom is coordinated by two chelating oxalate ligands and two chloride ions in cis positions, giving rise to an [Sn(C2O4)2Cl2]2− anion (point group symmetry 2), with the SnIV atom in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination. The cohesion of the crystal structure is ensured by the formation of N—H...O hydrogen bonding between (iPr2NH2)+ cations and [SnCl2(C2O4)2]2− anions. This gives rise to an infinite chain structure extending parallel to [101]. The main inter-chain interactions are van der Waals forces. The electronic spectrum of the title compound displays only one high intensity band in the UV region assignable to ligand–metal ion charge-transfer (LMCT) transitions. An IR spectrum was also recorded and is discussed.
