A brief view in XCrySDen of


Spacegroup: 221_Pm-3m

a = b = c = 6.3391

alpha = beta = gamma = 90

Pb (0, 0, 0)

I (0, 0.072, 0.5)

C (0.426, 0.426, 0.5) or (0.574, 0.574, 0.5)

N (0.627, 0.627, 0.5)


from the article titled "CH_3 NH_3 PbI_3 , A Potential Solar Cell 
Candidate: Structural and Spectroscopic Investigations" [ 
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jpca.6b09718 ] shows overlapping 
atoms indicating that this structure may have a partial occupancy.

WIEN2k does not accept case.struct files having a partial occupancy.
