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 88 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 8 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
A2B7C2_oC88_40_abc_2b6c_a3b-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oC88, then the space-group number 40, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Mo: 4a; Rb: 4a; Mo: 4b; O: 4b; O: 4b; Rb: 4b; Rb: 4b; Rb: 4b; Mo: 8c; O: 8c; O: 8c; O: 8c; O: 8c; O: 8c; O: 8c). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
