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).
