Materials Data on VPt3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Pt3V is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V2+ is bonded to twelve equivalent Pt+0.67- atoms to form VPt12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent VPt12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent PtV4Pt8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent VPt12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent PtV4Pt8 cuboctahedra. All V–Pt bond lengths are 2.78 Å. Pt+0.67- is bonded to four equivalent V2+ and eight equivalent Pt+0.67- atoms to form distorted PtV4Pt8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent PtV4Pt8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent VPt12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent PtV4Pt8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent VPt12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent PtV4Pt8 cuboctahedra. All Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.78 Å.
