Base-centered Orthorhombic primitive vectors:

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a}_1 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} - \frac12 \, b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\ \mathbf{a}_2 & = & \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} \\ \mathbf{a}_3 & = & c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \end{array} \]

Basis vectors:

\[ \begin{array}{ccccccc} & & \text{Lattice Coordinates} & & \text{Cartesian Coordinates} &\text{Wyckoff Position} & \text{Atom Type} \\ \mathbf{B}_{1} & =& x_{1} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + x_{1} \, \mathbf{a}_{2}& =& x_{1} \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}}& \left(4g\right) & \text{V} \\ \mathbf{B}_{2} & =& - x_{1} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} - x_{1} \, \mathbf{a}_{2}& =& - x_{1} \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}}& \left(4g\right) & \text{V} \\ \mathbf{B}_{3} & =& - y_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} + y_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + \frac12 \, \mathbf{a}_{3}& =& y_{2} \, b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac12 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}& \left(4j\right) & \text{Ir} \\ \mathbf{B}_{4} & =& y_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1} - y_{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2} + \frac12 \, \mathbf{a}_{3}& =& - y_{2} \, b \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac12 \, c \, \mathbf{\hat{z}}& \left(4j\right) & \text{Ir} \\ \end{array} \]
