Materials Data on CaSiPt by Materials Project
CaPtSi crystallizes in the cubic P2_13 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing CaSi4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (3.20 Å) and one longer (3.25 Å) Ca–Si bond lengths. Pt2+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Si4- atoms. All Pt–Si bond lengths are 2.33 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ca2+ and three equivalent Pt2+ atoms.
