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 76 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
A4B12C3_oC76_41_2b_6b_ab-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oC76, then the space-group number 41, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Ti: 4a; Bi: 8b; Bi: 8b; O: 8b; O: 8b; O: 8b; O: 8b; O: 8b; O: 8b; Ti: 8b). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
Note: m = 3 Aurivillius (Obsolete).
