Materials Data on La3PtI3 by Materials Project
La3PtI3 is Corundum-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic I4_132 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded to two equivalent Pt and four equivalent I atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LaPt2I4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–11°. Both La–Pt bond lengths are 2.96 Å. There are two shorter (3.33 Å) and two longer (3.45 Å) La–I bond lengths. Pt is bonded to six equivalent La atoms to form edge-sharing PtLa6 octahedra. I is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent La atoms.
