Materials Data on LuSiPt2 by Materials Project
LuPt2Si is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Lu is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pt and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Lu–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.13 Å. There are a spread of Lu–Si bond distances ranging from 2.93–2.98 Å. Pt is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Lu and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Si bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.60 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu and six equivalent Pt atoms.
