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 4 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

A_mC12_5_3c-001: the stoichiometry comes first (A, B, C… are the elements in alphabetical order of their site labels), then the Pearson symbol mC12, then the space-group number 5, then the Wyckoff letters occupied by each element in turn (Po: 4c; Po: 4c; Po: 4c). Two structures with the same label are the same arrangement with different cell parameters or coordinates.

Note: A19 (Obsolete).
