Materials Data on Ba(GaPt)2 by Materials Project
Ba(PtGa)2 is alpha Pu-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to eight Pt and nine Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ba–Pt bond distances ranging from 3.32–4.01 Å. There are a spread of Ba–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.44–3.89 Å. There are two inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba and four Ga atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.56 Å. In the second Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba and four Ga atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.59 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba and four Pt atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ba and four Pt atoms.
