Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N3 | N | 2a | 2 | 0.7500 | 0.2500 | 0.0000 |
| Br1 | Br | 2c | 2 | 0.2500 | 0.2500 | 0.4800 |
| H2 | H | 8i | 8 | 0.2500 | 0.8970 | 0.1470 |
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 12 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
AB4C_tP12_129_c_i_a-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol tP12, then the space-group number 129, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (N: 2a; Br: 2c; H: 8i). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
