Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rb1 | Rb | 1a | 1 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 |
| N2 | N | 8g | 8 | 0.4440 | 0.4440 | 0.4440 |
| O3 | O | 24k | 24 | 0.5330 | 0.5750 | 0.2310 |
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 33 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
A8B24C_cP33_207_g_k_a-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol cP33, then the space-group number 207, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Rb: 1a; N: 8g; O: 24k). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
Note: RbNO₃ (III).
