Materials Data on Ba(Cd2Pt)2 by Materials Project

Ba(PtCd2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded to six equivalent Pt atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing BaPt6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There are two shorter (3.37 Å) and four longer (3.50 Å) Ba–Pt bond lengths. Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba and six equivalent Cd atoms. There are four shorter (2.83 Å) and two longer (2.85 Å) Pt–Cd bond lengths. Cd is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Pt atoms.
