  • (Ewald, 1928) originally designated CoAsS as Strukturbericht $F1$. This was later changed to $F0_{1}$. We follow (Parthé, 1993) in using NiSbS as the prototype for this structure.
  • The Sb (4a) Wyckoff parameter ($x_{3}$) has been corrected from 0.875 to 0.625, which matches the bonding distances given by (Y. Takéuchi, 1957) (corrected on 2021/05/10).
