Abstract: 
Understanding the symmetries described by subperiodic groups– frieze, rod and
layer groups– has been instrumental in predicting various properties (band
structures, optical absorption, Raman spectra, diffraction patterns, topological
properties etc.) of ‘low-dimensional’ crystals. This knowledge is crucial in the
tailored design of materials for specific applications across electronics, photonics
and materials engineering. However, there are materials that have the property
of being periodic only in one direction and whose symmetry cannot be described
by the subperiodic rod groups. Describing the symmetry of these materials
necessitates the application of line group theory. This paper gives an overview of
subperiodic groups while briefly introducing line groups in order to acquaint the
crystallographic community with these symmetries and direct them to pertinent
literature. Since line groups are generally not subperiodic, they have thus far
remained outside the realm of symmetries traditionally considered in crystal
lography, although there are numerous ‘one-dimensional’ crystals (i.e. mono
periodic structures) possessing line group symmetry.
