- (Overell, 1982) does not explicitly give the Wyckoff positions. We infer them from the C-O and C-S bond lengths. The experimental data was obtained at 90 K.
\[ \begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{a_{1}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{6}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{3}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{3}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&- \frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{6}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{3}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}
\end{array}\]
