| Strukturbericht designation | : | $B24$ |
| Pearson symbol | : | oF8 |
| Space group number | : | 69 |

| AFLOW prototype command | : | aflow --proto=AB_oF8_69_a_b --params=$a,b/a,c/a$ |
- Although this is the B24 structure defined in Strukturbericht, it is not the currently accepted structure for TlF. See (Berastegui, 2000) and the TlF–II page. This is a slight distortion of the rock salt (B1) structure.
Face-centered Orthorhombic primitive vectors:
\[
\begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{a}_1 & = & \frac12 \, b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac12 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\
\mathbf{a}_2 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\
\mathbf{a}_3 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\
\end{array}
\]
Basis vectors:
\[ \begin{array}{ccccccc} & & \mbox{Lattice Coordinates} & & \mbox{Cartesian Coordinates} &\mbox{Wyckoff Position} & \mbox{Atom Type} \\ \mathbf{B_1} & = & 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + 0 \, \mathbf{a}_{3} & = & 0 \mathbf{\hat{x}} + 0 \mathbf{\hat{y}} + 0 \mathbf{\hat{z}} & \left(4a\right) & \mbox{F} \\ \mathbf{B}_{2} & =& \frac12 \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + \frac12 \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + \frac12 \, \mathbf{a}_{3}& =& \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac12 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}& \left(4b\right) & \mbox{Tl} \\ \end{array} \]References
