Materials Data on HoSnPt by Materials Project
HoPtSn crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five Pt and six equivalent Sn atoms. All Ho–Pt bond lengths are 3.04 Å. There are two shorter (3.22 Å) and four longer (3.34 Å) Ho–Sn bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho and three equivalent Sn atoms. All Pt–Sn bond lengths are 2.82 Å. In the second Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho and six equivalent Sn atoms. All Pt–Sn bond lengths are 2.80 Å. Sn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho and four Pt atoms.
