Materials Data on Hf3Pt by Materials Project
Hf3Pt is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hf is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Pt atoms. There are two shorter (2.99 Å) and two longer (3.07 Å) Hf–Pt bond lengths. Pt is bonded to twelve equivalent Hf atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing PtHf12 cuboctahedra.
