Materials Data on LuPPt by Materials Project
LuPtP is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu3+ is bonded to six equivalent Pt2- and six equivalent P1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing LuP6Pt6 cuboctahedra. All Lu–Pt bond lengths are 3.03 Å. All Lu–P bond lengths are 3.03 Å. Pt2- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Lu3+ and three equivalent P1- atoms. All Pt–P bond lengths are 2.37 Å. P1- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Lu3+ and three equivalent Pt2- atoms.
