  • BaTi$_{2}$As$_{2}$O and CeCr$_{2}$Si$_{2}$C are both in space group $P4/mmm$ #123, and use the same Wyckoff positions. They differ in the c/a ratio. We follow the ICSD and put them into separate prototypes.

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a_{1}}&=&a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}} \end{array}\]
