For many point groups, if the rotation axis can be unambiguously obtained from the combination of symmetry elements presented in the symbol, the n-fold rotation axes in n/m positions can then be ignored. From instance, the short symbol for 2/m 2/m 2/m (2/m 2/m 2/m) point group is mmm.

Table 2979 list all the space groups which have point group mmm.

mmm is the only centrosymmetric orthorhmbic point group. For the mirror plane perpendicular to axis a, we have the diffraction intensities Ihkl = I-hkl, for the mirror plane perpendicular to axis b we have Ihkl = Ih-kl, and for the mirror plane perpendicular to axis c, we have Ihkl = Ihk-l.
