Reflection through interchanges the two Se height classes but, by itself, leaves their projected positions wrong. The required parallel translation isFor example, maps to , equivalent to the second Se site. The two Fe sites are also interchanged. This is a diagonal, or , glide; adding an integer lattice vector gives the same fractional translation class. Its translation is expressed in the conventional primitive tetragonal lattice coordinates, not in a smaller Fe-only cell that would discard the selenium height pattern.
