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 120 atoms drawn above are these sites multiplied by all 8 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

AB4C_oI120_46_b2c_2b9c_b2c-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oI120, then the space-group number 46, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Al: 4b; O: 4b; O: 4b; P: 4b; Al: 8c; Al: 8c; O: 8c; O: 8c; O: 8c; O: 8c; O: 8c; O: 8c; O: 8c; O: 8c; O: 8c; P: 8c; P: 8c). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: Ordered AlPO₄-11.
