19. I4̄c2 is a subgroup of Fd3̄m with a (12 12 12)c superlattice wave vector [H.T. Stokes and D.M. Hatch, Isotropy Subgroups of the 230 Crystallographic Space Groups (World Scientific, Singapore, 1989].
20. However, I4̄c2 is ruled out because we observe (7.5 1.5 1.5)c and (1.5 1.5 7.5)c [see Fig. 1] when that space group allows only one of these [International Tables for Crystallography, edited by, T. Hahn, (Kluwer Academic, Dordrecht, 2002), 5th ed.].
