Materials Data on Lu3Pt by Materials Project
Lu3Pt is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Lu sites. In the first Lu site, Lu is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt atoms. There are a spread of Lu–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.81–3.29 Å. In the second Lu site, Lu is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Pt atoms. There are one shorter (2.74 Å) and one longer (2.81 Å) Lu–Pt bond lengths. Pt is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight Lu atoms.
