    "description": "A single symmetry operation.\n\n**Requirements/Conventions**:\n\n- The symmetry operation is described in Jones' faithful representation (Bradley & Cracknell, 1972: pp. 35-37), adapted for computer string notation.\n- The interpretation of the string MUST follow the conventions of the IUCr CIF core dictionary (IUCr, 2023).\n- The letters `x`, `y` and `z` that are typesetted with overbars in printed text represent coordinate values multiplied by -1 and are encoded as `-x`, `-y` and `-z`, respectively.\n- The syntax of the string representing a symmetry operation MUST conform to regular expressions given in the OPTIMADE specification appendix 'The Symmetry Operation String Regular Expressions'.\n\n**Bibliographic References**\n\n- Bradley, C.
