This lattice has only rhombohedral symmetry. When the parameter "x" below is set to 1/3 the atoms are on the sites of a face centered cubic lattice, when x = 0 the atoms are on the sites of a simple cubic lattice, and when x = -1/6 the atoms are on the sites of a body centered cubic lattice. By convention, lattices with 0 < x < 1/3 belong to Strukturbericht A10, while lattices with -1/6 < x < 0 belong to A_i.

See these vectors in a better notation.
