Materials Data on Dy(InPt)4 by Materials Project
DyPt4In4 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Pt2- atoms. There are six shorter (3.01 Å) and two longer (3.14 Å) Dy–Pt bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pt2- sites. In the first Pt2- site, Pt2- is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to one Dy3+ and seven In+1.25+ atoms. There are a spread of Pt–In bond distances ranging from 2.76–2.88 Å. In the second Pt2- site, Pt2- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy3+ and four In+1.25+ atoms. There are three shorter (2.78 Å) and one longer (2.82 Å) Pt–In bond lengths. There are two inequivalent In+1.25+ sites. In the first In+1.25+ site, In+1.25+ is bonded in a distorted pentagonal planar geometry to five Pt2- atoms. In the second In+1.25+ site, In+1.25+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six Pt2- atoms.
