 Notes:

    α  The order of the Td point group is 24, and the order of the principal axis (S4) is 4. The group has 5 irreducible representations.

    β  The Td point group is isomorphic to O. It is also isomorphic to the Symmetric Group Sym(4).

    γ  The Td point group is generated by two symmetry elements, which can be chosen as two distinct S4 axes, or any S4 with any C3, or a S4 (or C3) with a non-coplanar σd.

    δ  The lowest nonvanishing multipole moment in Td is 8 (octupole moment).

    ε  This point group is non-Abelian (some symmetry operations are not commutative).
       Therefore, the character table contains multi-membered classes and degenerate irreducible representations.

    ζ  This point group has several symmetry elements of order 3 or higher which are not coaxial.
       Therefore, it has at least three-dimensional irreducible representations.
       The symmetry described by this group may be called “isometric”, as the three Cartesian directions are degenerate.

    η  This point group corresponds to cubic symmetry, because it is isometric but has no C5 axis. More precisely, it is tetrahedral because it has no four-fold axis of rotation.
       Note that the form of the Cartesian products and their ordering in the table above are somewhat arbitrary.

    θ  All characters are integers because the order of the principal axis is 1,2,3,4 or 6.
       Such point groups are also referred to as “crystallographic point groups”, as they are compatible with periodic lattice symmetry.
       There are exactly 32 such groups: C1,Cs,Ci,C2,C2h,C2v,C3,C3h,C3v,C4,C4h,C4v,C6,C6h,C6v,D2,D2d,D2h,D3,D3d,D3h,D4,D4h,D6,D6h,S4,S6,T,Td,Th,O,Oh.
