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 24 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 4 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

A5B_oP24_26_3a3b2c_ab-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP24, then the space-group number 26, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (P: 2a; P: 2a; P: 2a; Tl: 2a; P: 2b; P: 2b; P: 2b; Tl: 2b; P: 4c; P: 4c). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
