  • Table 4 of (Vymazalová, 2012) has a small error: the positions of the Hg(1) atoms should be written (1/3 2/3 0.3507) rather than (1/3 1/3 0.3507).

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a_{1}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}} \end{array}\]
