For triclinic structures, the lattice spacing (d-spacing) can be given by, (You can download the excel file for your own calculations)

         lattice spacing (d-spacing)  of triclinic structures --------------------------------- [3554a]
         lattice spacing (d-spacing)  of triclinic structures --------------------------------- [3554b]
where,
        a, b and c -- The lattice constants.
        h, k, and l -- The Miller indices.
