Dear all

I have a confusion on the space group R32 and H32. For a cell parameter of a = b not equal to c, alpha=beta, not equal to gamma, is it considered as R32 or H32?

I tried searching the mail list archives but it does not help a beginner crystallographer like me.

I also have another basic question. What is the correct way for writing space groups? Is the Bravais lattice in italic and is there space after that? Or it does not matter because both are used in literature?

Thank you.
