| | Crystallographic Topology - Lattice Complexes |
 | | Lattice complexes are configurations of points that recur at least once but usually repeatedly throughout the family of all space groups. |
 | | Those equivalent to Bravais lattices are P, C, I, R, and F. Assigning all Wyckoff positions of all space groups to lattice complexes produces a total of 402 lattice complexes which are tabulated in Fischer, Burzlaff, Hellner, and Donnay (1973) and Fischer and Koch (1995). |
 | | For the body-centered lattice complex I, this correlation does not hold since the bcc peaks, passes, pales, and pits are on the center, 8 hexagonal faces, 24 vertices, and 6 square faces, respectively, rather than on the 14 faces, 36 edges, and 24 vertices of the bcc truncated octahedron Dirichlet polyhedron. |
