oP34 — orthorhombic, primitive lattice, 34 atoms per conventional cell

Symmetry operations

4 per cell

Crystallographic sites

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 34 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

A2B6CD8_oP34_31_2a_2a2b_a_4a2b-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP34, then the space-group number 31, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Ca: 2a; Ca: 2a; H: 2a; H: 2a; Mg: 2a; O: 2a; O: 2a; O: 2a; O: 2a; H: 4b; H: 4b; O: 4b; O: 4b). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
