  • We use the data from (Lundgren, 1984) at 20 K, including the positions of the hydrogen atoms not found in the original $H4_{8}$ structure in (Gottfried, 1937).
  • Space group $P2_{1}$ #4 allows the $y$ coordinates to have an arbitrary origin. We follow (Lundgren, 1984) and set the $y$ coordinate of the sulfur atom, $y_{10}$, to zero.

Simple Monoclinic primitive vectors:
