Materials Data on Bi2Pt by Materials Project
Bi2Pt is Calaverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-3 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Bi2Pt sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Pt2- sites. In the first Pt2- site, Pt2- is bonded to six equivalent Bi1+ atoms to form edge-sharing PtBi6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.79 Å) and three longer (2.80 Å) Pt–Bi bond lengths. In the second Pt2- site, Pt2- is bonded to six equivalent Bi1+ atoms to form edge-sharing PtBi6 octahedra. All Pt–Bi bond lengths are 2.79 Å. Bi1+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Pt2- atoms.
