12. Note that this situation is not specific to the trigonal unit cell geometry but rather is a feature of crystal structures in which layers of antichiral threefold helices are involved, e.g. for the monoclinic unit cell of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) in its α phase and more specifically for its lateral (010) growth faces (in which the actual orientation of the helices could be determined by AFM on epitaxially crystallized samples).
