  • Online exercises for crystal structure type
    Mercury's functions are great and numerous, the program sadly became a bit resource hungry (better to spend 8 than 4GB of RAM, about 700+MB on the hard disk for a permanent installation. In this perspective, it is nice Jmol equally can be used to display/highlight symmetry relationships in crystals (link to an animated .gif) for less than 70MB when using Jmol's console.
