  • (Gottfried, 1937) originally described NH4ClBrI as isostructural with NH4I3, $D0_{16}$, based on the early work of (Mooney, 1935). However, (Gottfried, 1940) used the newer work of (Mooney, 1937) to create a separate Strukturbericht designation for NH4ClBrI, $F5_{14}$, even though this structure is still obviously related to NH4I3.
  • The positions of the hydrogen atoms in the NH4 were not determined, so we only provide the positions of the nitrogen atoms (labeled as NH4).
  • The original structure is given in the $Pmcn$ setting of space group #62, which was transformed to the standard $Pnma$ setting by FINDSYM. However, note that the coordinate transformations for the ($4c$) Wyckoff positions in (Gottfried, 1940) are erroneous, they give a structure in space group $Pmmn$ #59. (Gottfried, 1937) has the correct tranformations in the $D0_{16}$ section.
