symmetry, in which layer contacts are geometrically non-
equivalent (non-OD polytypes). In both polytypes adjacent
layers are related by a glide reflection with a plane parallel
to (100). In polytype I (
Ic

), the intrinsic translation vector
of the glide reflection is
b
/2. In polytype II (

), the intrinsic
translation vector is
s
c
/2 with
s
=
0.771. It is a polytype with a
maximum degree of order (MDO) of a family of OD structures.
Fragments of the second MDO polytype lead to systematic
twinning by reflection at (100). For crystals of both polytypes
the absolute structure was determined [Flack parameters
− 0.03(5) and − 0.05(5)]. Despite being of the non-OD type,
the formalism of OD theory is applied to achieve a unified
description of the symmetry of both polytypes.

Keywords:
OD theory; polytypism; twinning.
