- The C I (4e) site and the O IV (12i) site are only half occupied, giving the observed stochiometry. We could average the carbon atoms z-coordinates, setting z$_{2}$ = 0, which would put them on a fully occupied (2b) site. A similar trick, setting z$_{9}$ = 1/4, would move the O IV atoms to the (6h) site, but this involves moving those atoms by about 1Å, twice as far as the carbon atoms would have to move.
