Materials Data on In3Pt2 by Materials Project
Pt2In3 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pt2- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight In+1.33+ atoms. There are a spread of Pt–In bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.88 Å. There are two inequivalent In+1.33+ sites. In the first In+1.33+ site, In+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent Pt2- atoms. In the second In+1.33+ site, In+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted pentagonal planar geometry to five equivalent Pt2- atoms.
