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 16 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

A2BC4D_tP16_127_g_c_j_b-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol tP16, then the space-group number 127, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Pd: 2b; H: 2c; Cl: 4g; N: 8j). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: H4₉.
