  • We use the 77.4K data for deuterium chloride from (Sándor, 1967). They gave the data in the $Bb2_{1}m$ setting of space group #36. We used FINDSYM to transform this to the standard $Cmc2_{1}$ setting.

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a_{1}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{1}{2}b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}} \end{array}\]

$\mathbf{B_{2}}$ = $y_{1} \, \mathbf{a}_{1}- y_{1} \, \mathbf{a}_{2}+\left(z_{1} + \frac{1}{2}\right) \, \mathbf{a}_{3}$ = $- b y_{1} \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+c \left(z_{1} + \frac{1}{2}\right) \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}$ (4a) Cl I
