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 168 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 32 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

A6B2C3D_tI168_139_egikl2m_ejn_bh2n_acf-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol tI168, then the space-group number 139, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Tl: 2a; K: 2b; Tl: 4c; Cl: 4e; H: 4e; Tl: 8f; Cl: 8g; K: 8h; Cl: 8i; H: 8j; Cl: 16k; Cl: 16l; Cl: 16m; Cl: 16m; H: 16n; K: 16n; K: 16n). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: J3₁.
