- Since space group #186 has no $z = 0$ mirror plane, we are free to uniformly shift the $z$ coordinates of the atoms. We have done this so that the first carbon atom is at the origin.
Hexagonal primitive vectors:
\[
\begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{a}_1 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} - \frac{\sqrt3}2 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\
\mathbf{a}_2 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac{\sqrt3}2 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\
\mathbf{a}_3 & = & c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}\\
\end{array}
