  An example of a crystal structure which can be described using the ideas presented above is CsCl. Each ion resides on a separate, interpenetrating Simple Cubic lattice. The cation is in the center of the anion unit cell and visa versa, so the two lattices have the same unit cell dimensions. 
Note that each lattice is simple cubic, not body centered cubic. In order for a lattice to be body centered, the same chemical species (e.g., an atom or ion ) would have to reside at the eight corners and the center of the unit cell.
