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 76 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

AB5C2D11_oP76_62_c_5c_2c_5c3d-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol oP76, then the space-group number 62, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Al: 4c; Ba: 4c; Ba: 4c; Ba: 4c; Ba: 4c; Ba: 4c; Ir: 4c; Ir: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 4c; O: 8d; O: 8d; O: 8d). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Symmetry elements, Wyckoff assignment and the diagram are computed on this page from the group operations.
