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 14 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

A3B4_oP14_49_ej_2q-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP14, then the space-group number 49, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (D: 2e; D: 4j; V: 4q; V: 4q). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: \delta-V₄D₃.
