Materials Data on Li3Pt by Materials Project
Li3Pt is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li is bonded to four equivalent Li and four equivalent Pt atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing LiLi4Pt4 tetrahedra. All Li–Li bond lengths are 2.63 Å. All Li–Pt bond lengths are 2.63 Å. In the second Li site, Li is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Li and six equivalent Pt atoms. All Li–Pt bond lengths are 3.04 Å. Pt is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to fourteen Li atoms.
