Materials Data on CeAlPt by Materials Project
CePtAl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pt and six equivalent Al atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.14 Å. There are a spread of Ce–Al bond distances ranging from 3.16–3.36 Å. Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ce and four equivalent Al atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Al bond distances ranging from 2.65–2.73 Å. Al is bonded to six equivalent Ce and four equivalent Pt atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing AlCe6Pt4 tetrahedra.
