Materials Data on Ba(InPt)2 by Materials Project
Ba(PtIn)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Pt2- atoms. All Ba–Pt bond lengths are 3.55 Å. Pt2- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba2+, one Pt2-, and four equivalent In1+ atoms. The Pt–Pt bond length is 2.74 Å. All Pt–In bond lengths are 2.80 Å. In1+ is bonded to four equivalent Pt2- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing InPt4 tetrahedra.
