- (Massalski, 1990) credits the discovery of this structure to (Rengade, 1909), but we have been unable to obtain a copy of this reference. (Downs, 2003) quotes (Wyckoff, 1963) giving an $Immm$–oI8 structure for CsO. Since this is the same space group and Pearson symbol as found in Massalski, we use Wyckoff's data.
Body-centered Orthorhombic primitive vectors:
\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a}_1 & = & - \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac12 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\ \mathbf{a}_2 & = & ~ \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} - \frac12 \, b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac12 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\ \mathbf{a}_3 & = & ~ \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} - \frac12 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\ \end{array} \]
Basis vectors:
\[ \begin{array}{ccccccc} & & \text{Lattice Coordinates} & & \text{Cartesian Coordinates} &\text{Wyckoff Position} & \text{Atom Type} \\ \mathbf{B}_{1} & = & y_{1} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + y_{1} \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & y_{1}b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} & \left(4g\right) & \text{Cs} \\ \mathbf{B}_{2} & = & -y_{1} \, \mathbf{a}_{1}-y_{1} \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & -y_{1}b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} & \left(4g\right) & \text{Cs} \\ \mathbf{B}_{3} & = & z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} & = & z_{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(4i\right) & \text{O} \\ \mathbf{B}_{4} & = & -z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1}-z_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} & = & -z_{2}c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(4i\right) & \text{O} \\ \end{array} \]References
