Rectangular lattice

[1] The symmetry categories of these lattices are wallpaper groups pmm and cmm respectively.

The conventional translation vectors of the rectangular lattices form an angle of 90° and are of unequal lengths.

The primitive rectangular lattice can also be described by a centered rhombic unit cell, while the centered rectangular lattice can also be described by a primitive rhombic unit cell.

The rectangular lattice class names, Schönflies notation, Hermann-Mauguin notation, orbifold notation, Coxeter notation, and wallpaper groups are listed in the table below.
