  • The hydrogen (16e) sites are half-occupied. Given the closeness of pairs of hydrogen positions presumably only one site in each pair is ever occupied. This partial occupancy gives a structure that differs slightly from the $H2_{2}$ structure described by (Ewald, 1928). There the hydrogen atoms are at their averaged positions, Wyckoff position (8d).
  • The x position of the oxygen atom was inadvertantly listed as 0.1933. We have changed this to the correct value, 0.14933
