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 24 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 16 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

A2BC2D_oC24_67_m_a_n_g-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oC24, then the space-group number 67, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (N: 4a; P: 4g; H: 8m; O: 8n). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: F5₇.
