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 12 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

A2B_oP12_26_abc_ab-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP12, then the space-group number 26, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (H: 2a; S: 2a; H: 2b; S: 2b; H: 4c). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: HP, Theory.
