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 30 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

A4B4C4DE2_tP30_136_i_j_i_a_f-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol tP30, then the space-group number 136, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Pd: 2a; Rh: 4f; Cr: 8i; Ni: 8i; Fe: 8j). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
