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 108 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 192 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

AB18C8_cF108_225_a_eh_f-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol cF108, then the space-group number 225, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Cr: 4a; Fe: 24e; Ni: 32f; Fe: 48h). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: Model Structure.
