Schoenflies notation is a system used in chemistry and molecular biology to describe the symmetry of molecules and molecular structures, particularly in the context of point groups in three-dimensional space. It provides a way to classify the symmetry of a molecule based on its geometric arrangements and symmetries. In Schoenflies notation, point groups are denoted by symbols that often consist of letters and numbers.
