The multiplicity and the Wyckoff letter say how many copies of the site the group makes in one cell and on which kind of symmetry element the site sits; the 128 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 4 operations. Press Wyckoff under Colour to see the sites, and tick a symmetry element on the left to see which atoms lie on it.

How to read the label

A17B47_oP128_32_a8c_a23c-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP128, then the space-group number 32, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Mo: 2a; O: 2a; Mo: 4c; Mo: 4c; Mo: 4c; Mo: 4c; Mo: 4c; Mo: 4c; Mo: 4c; Mo: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
