Abstract: Crystallographic puzzles not covered by the present crystallography, like integral indexing and crystallographic scaling of axial-symmetric biomacromolecules and icosahedral viral capsids and/or integral lattices, can possibly be explained by extending (n,d)-dimensional superspace crystallography to include finite subgroups of the higher-dimensional orthogonal group O(n) and not only those of O(d), as restricted by the physical dimension d.
Keywords: higher-dimensional point groups; superspace crystallography.
