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 64 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

A3BC8D2E2_oC64_36_3a_a_4b_b_2a-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oC64, then the space-group number 36, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (F: 4a; F: 4a; F: 4a; Na: 4a; V: 4a; V: 4a; O: 8b; O: 8b; O: 8b; O: 8b; P: 8b). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: Uncharged NVPF.
