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 16 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

AB2C3_oC96_66_ik_cdj2k_gl2m-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oC96, then the space-group number 66, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Li: 4c; Li: 4d; O: 8g; Ir: 8i; Li: 8j; Ir: 8k; Li: 8k; Li: 8k; O: 8l; O: 16m; O: 16m). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: \gamma-Li₂IrO₃.
