  • Al$_{2}$CuIr (A2BC_oC16_67_ag_b_g) and CuHoP$_{2}$ (ABC2_oC16_67_b_g_ag) have similar AFLOW prototype labels (i.e., same symmetry and set of Wyckoff positions with different stoichiometry labels due to alphabetic ordering of atomic species). They are generated by the same symmetry operations with different sets of parameters (--params) specified in their corresponding CIF files.

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