Materials Data on ErPt2 by Materials Project
ErPt2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Pt atoms. All Er–Pt bond lengths are 3.18 Å. Pt is bonded to six equivalent Er and six equivalent Pt atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing PtEr6Pt6 cuboctahedra. All Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.71 Å.
