Materials Data on NdPt2 by Materials Project
NdPt2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Nd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Pt atoms. All Nd–Pt bond lengths are 3.24 Å. Pt is bonded to six equivalent Nd and six equivalent Pt atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing PtNd6Pt6 cuboctahedra. All Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.76 Å.
