Materials Data on CaAlPt by Materials Project
CaPtAl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pt and six equivalent Al atoms. There are a spread of Ca–Pt bond distances ranging from 3.00–3.16 Å. There are a spread of Ca–Al bond distances ranging from 3.17–3.35 Å. Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ca and four equivalent Al atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Al bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.71 Å. Al is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ca and four equivalent Pt atoms.
