  • While FINDSYM identifies space group #195 for this structure (consistent with the reference), AFLOW–SYM and Platon identify #204. Lowering the tolerance value for AFLOW–SYM resolves space group #200, which is also indicated as a possible space group by the reference (Lee, 2004). Lowering AFLOW–SYM's tolerance further yields the expected space group #194. Space groups #195, #200, and #204 are reasonable classifications since they are commensurate with subgroup relations.
