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 36 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 24 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
A3B2C9D3E_hP36_194_g_f_hk_h_a-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol hP36, then the space-group number 194, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Zr: 2a; Na: 4f; H: 6g; O: 6h; Si: 6h; O: 12k). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
Note: S3₄(II), Catapleiite (Obsolete).
