-RuCl is a candidate for realizing the Kitaev quantum spin liquid state. Despite extensive research efforts, its crystal structure at temperatures relevant to studying Kitaev physics has been controversial. Here, the authors examine a single crystal with minimal twinning and stacking faults, allowing them to unambiguously determine the symmetry change across the structural phase transition. They find that the three-fold rotational symmetry of the honeycomb plane is restored in the low-temperature phase with symmetry group , although this symmetry is explicitly broken in the room-temperature structure.
