Materials Data on LaInPt4 by Materials Project
LaPt4In is Cubic Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La3+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Pt1- atoms. All La–Pt bond lengths are 3.22 Å. Pt1- is bonded to three equivalent La3+, six equivalent Pt1-, and three equivalent In1+ atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing PtLa3In3Pt6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.73 Å) and three longer (2.76 Å) Pt–Pt bond lengths. All Pt–In bond lengths are 3.21 Å. In1+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Pt1- atoms.
