Crystallographic sites
| Site | Element | Wyckoff | Multiplicity | x | y | z |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NH1 | N | 1a | 1 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 |
| NO2 | N | 1b | 1 | 0.5000 | 0.5000 | 0.5000 |
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 2 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
AB_cP2_221_a_b-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol cP2, then the space-group number 221, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (N: 1a; N: 1b). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.
Note: G0₈, NH₄NO₃ I.
