Materials Data on Ho5(In2Pt)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ho5(PtIn2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pt and six In atoms. Both Ho–Pt bond lengths are 2.82 Å. There are a spread of Ho–In bond distances ranging from 3.22–3.39 Å. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pt and six In atoms. There are two shorter (2.95 Å) and two longer (2.96 Å) Ho–Pt bond lengths. There are a spread of Ho–In bond distances ranging from 3.33–3.42 Å. In the third Ho site, Ho is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight In atoms. There are four shorter (3.23 Å) and four longer (3.33 Å) Ho–In bond lengths. Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Ho and three In atoms. There are a spread of Pt–In bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.37 Å. There are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to eight Ho, two equivalent Pt, and one In atom. The In–In bond length is 3.36 Å. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to eight Ho, one Pt, and one In atom.
