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 36 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 48 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

AB2_cI36_204_d_g-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol cI36, then the space-group number 204, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (N: 12d; O: 24g). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: C26 or C26_{b}.
