  • (Zachriasen, 1934) state that the H atoms in the ammonium ion must be along the lines between the nitrogen and oxygen atoms, but give no further information, so we only provide the position of the nitrogen atoms (labeled as NH$_{4}$).
  • The data for this structure was presented in the $Acmm$ setting of space group #67. We transformed this to the standard $Cmma$ setting using FINDSYM.

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