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 32 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

ABC4D2E8_tP32_126_a_b_h_e_k-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol tP32, then the space-group number 126, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Ag: 2a; Co: 2b; N: 4e; N: 8h; O: 16k). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: J1₉.
