Atomic Labels

Each atom in a structure from the Cambridge Structural Database has a label, which consists of the element symbol followed by a number and (sometimes) a prime. CSD atom labels are normally identical to, or closely related to, those used by the author. Atoms generated by symmetry (i.e. not belonging to the asymmetric unit) will have an extra letter at the end of their label, which indicates which symmetry operation was used.
