Item Description
Space-group symbol defined by Hall.
Each component of the space-group name is separated by a
space or an underscore. The use of a space is strongly
recommended. The underscore is only retained because it
was used in old CIFs. It should not be
used in new CIFs.
_space_group.name_Hall uniquely defines the space group and
its reference to a particular coordinate system.
