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 80 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

A3B5C8D2E2_oC80_63_cg_c2f_2h_e_g-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oC80, then the space-group number 63, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (F: 4c; Na: 4c; P: 8e; Na: 8f; Na: 8f; F: 8g; V: 8g; O: 16h; O: 16h). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: Fully charged NVPF.
