RE: "2d materials don't exist" editorial??
Yes I think that is correct. You can choose either, depending on the level of approximation you think is worth using. However, there is a nagging worry to which I do not have a certain answer. It is this. With normal 3-d crystals we are used to using group theoretical representations that are based on a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, for example when using theory to derive properties such as electronic band structures or phonon dispersion or the dynamics associated with phase transitions. What happens then if we decide to work using plane group symmetry in one case or layer group symmetry in the other? Can you be sure that you get the same answer? I suspect it makes little difference to the actual outcome, but I cannot prove that.

Otherwise you can approximate as 2-dimensional, so it is up to you how far you want to approximate. In any case, all observed symmetry in crystals results from averaging over space and time.

Since everything is made of atoms all materials are 3-dimensional. The differences lie in the dimensionality of the periodicity, which can be n-dimensional. In the case of graphene, you can consider it to be 2-dimensional if you are willing to approximate atoms as having 0 thickness, and then the symmetry would be given by one of the 17 plane groups i.e. p6mm.

Re: "2d materials don't exist" editorial??
IMHO the "abuse" of the term "2D materials" comes from the physical properties. Of course there is not much purpose in studying the third dimension (from a crystallographic point of view) in graphene. But the electronic structure is perfectly defined by a 2D model, for this reason it is called 2D material. If more complex layered materials are considered that could apply as with graphene or not. Regarding crystallography, graphene is not within the scope of interest because a material with periodicity only in 2 dimensions is not a crystal according to the IUCr Reciprocal-space definition A material is a crystal if it has *essentially* a sharp diffraction pattern. A solid is a crystal if it has *essentially* a sharp diffraction pattern. The word *essentially* means that most of the intensity of the diffraction is concentrated in relatively sharp *Bragg peaks*, besides the always present diffuse scattering. In all cases, the positions of the diffraction peaks can be expressed by H=∑ni=1hia∗i (n≥3) Here a∗i and hi are the basis vectors of the reciprocal lattice and integer coefficients respectively and the number *n* is the minimum for which the positions of the peaks can be described with integer coefficient hi. Note that n<3 is not accepted. (https://dictionary.iucr.org/Crystal) Leopoldo -- #CONCIENCIA6+1 Prof. Agr. Dr. Leopoldo Suescun Cryssmat-Lab/DETEMA, Facultad de Química, Universidad de la República.

Hi all, Thank you Matt for bringing up this issue. Massimo Nespolo has been fighting for the correct description of structures, specially focusing on symmetry and proper terminology, for years (see his many articles on the misuse of lattice, sublattice, superlattice, etc). He has, as well, been educating crystallographers of all ages in symmetry concepts and use through IUCr's MaThCryst Commision and Internationa School on Fundamental Crystallograpy courses around the world. He'll probably be remembered by many as a Dick Marsh of symmetry.
