A binary <crystal structure> with one species at the corners of a primitive cubic <unit cell> and the other at its body centre. Each species has <coordination number> eight. Distinct chemical labels mean that the body-centre translation is not a <translation symmetry>; its <Bravais lattice> is primitive cubic, not body-centred cubic.
