Editing Space group (section)

==History==
Space groups in 2 dimensions are the 17 [[wallpaper group]]s which have been known for several centuries, though the proof that the list was complete was only given in 1891, after the much more difficult classification of space groups had largely been completed.{{sfnp|Fedorov|1891b}}

In 1879 the German mathematician [[Leonhard Sohncke]] listed the 65 space groups (called Sohncke groups) whose elements preserve the [[chirality]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Sohncke|first1=Leonhard |title=Die Entwicklung einer Theorie der Krystallstruktur|trans-title=The Development of a Theory of Crystal Structure|date=1879|publisher=[[Bibliotheca Teubneriana|B.G.

The space groups in three dimensions were first enumerated in 1891 by Fedorov{{sfnp|Fedorov|1891a}} (whose list had two omissions (I{{overline|4}}3d and Fdd2) and one duplication (Fmm2)), and shortly afterwards in 1891 were independently enumerated by Schönflies<ref>{{cite book |last1=Schönflies |first1=Arthur M. |title=Krystallsysteme und Krystallstruktur |trans-title=Crystal Systems and Crystal Structure |date=1891 |publisher=B.G.

The correct list of 230 space groups was found by 1892 during correspondence between Fedorov and Schönflies.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=von Fedorow |first1=E. |title=Zusammenstellung der kirstallographischen Resultate des Herrn Schoenflies und der meinigen |journal=Zeitschrift für Krystallographie und Mineralogie |date=1892 |volume=20 |pages=25–75 |trans-title=Compilation of the crystallographic results of Mr. Schoenflies and of mine |language=de |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.b3328306&view=1up&seq=41}}</ref> {{harvs|txt|author-link=William Barlow (geologist)|last=Barlow|first=William|year=1894}} later enumerated the groups with a different method, but omitted four groups (Fdd2, I{{overline|4}}2d, P{{overline|4}}2<sub>1</sub>d, and P{{overline|4}}2<sub>1</sub>c) even though he already had the correct list of 230 groups from Fedorov and Schönflies; the common claim that Barlow was unaware of their work is incorrect.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} {{harvtxt|Burckhardt|1967}} describes the history of the discovery of the space groups in detail.
