Materials Data on Ge2Pt3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ge2Pt3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Pt2- sites. In the first Pt2- site, Pt2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Ge3+ atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.57–2.69 Å. In the second Pt2- site, Pt2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Ge3+ atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.59–2.67 Å. In the third Pt2- site, Pt2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Ge3+ atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.57–2.65 Å. In the fourth Pt2- site, Pt2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Ge3+ atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.58–2.71 Å. There are three inequivalent Ge3+ sites. In the first Ge3+ site, Ge3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Pt2- atoms. In the second Ge3+ site, Ge3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Pt2- atoms. In the third Ge3+ site, Ge3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Pt2- atoms.
