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 48 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

A3BC2_oP48_50_3m_m_2m-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP48, then the space-group number 50, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (O: 8m; O: 8m; O: 8m; Te: 8m; Tl: 8m; Tl: 8m). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: α-Tl₂TeO₃.
