It has been shown that the symmetry and structure of individual OD layers may depend on their actual stacking in a (polytypic) OD structure, leading to significant deviations from the ideal OD symmetry. This phenomenon has been called “desymmetrization of OD structures”; its significance for polytypism and for crystallochemistry is discussed.
