Materials Data on BPt2 by Materials Project
Pt(BPt) is Molybdenite structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Pt(BPt) sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Pt+1.50+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent B3- atoms. All Pt–B bond lengths are 2.20 Å. B3- is bonded to six equivalent Pt+1.50+ atoms to form distorted edge-sharing BPt6 pentagonal pyramids.
