Triclinic primitive unit cell has dimensions as, a ≠ b ≠ c and α ≠ β ≠ 90°.
Among the seven basic or primitive crystalline systems, the triclinic system is most unsymmetrical, the triclinic. In other cases, edge length and axial angles are given as follows:
Hexagonal: a = b ≠ c and α = β = 90°, γ = 120°
Monoclinic: a ≠ b ≠ c and α = γ = 90°, β ≠ 90°
Tetragonal: a ≠ b ≠ c and α = β = γ = 90°
- The parameters of all other crystal systems are given below:
