Materials Data on Nd12InPt7 by Materials Project
Nd12Pt7In crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five Pt and one In atom. There are a spread of Nd–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.41 Å. The Nd–In bond length is 3.38 Å. In the second Nd site, Nd is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to five Pt atoms. There are a spread of Nd–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.72 Å. In the third Nd site, Nd is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Pt atoms. There are two shorter (2.92 Å) and two longer (3.14 Å) Nd–Pt bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Nd atoms. In the second Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to nine Nd atoms. In the third Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to eight Nd atoms. In is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Nd atoms.
