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 96 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 24 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

A7BC4_cP96_218_bcefi_ad_ei-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol cP96, then the space-group number 218, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Mn: 2a; Li: 6b; Li: 6c; Mn: 6d; Li: 8e; N: 8e; Li: 12f; Li: 24i; N: 24i). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
