Materials Data on NiH20PtC4(NO3)4 by Materials Project
Pt(NH3)4NiH4(C2O5)2(H2O)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic I222 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four water molecules, two NiH4(C2O5)2 clusters, and two Pt(NH3)4 clusters. In each NiH4(C2O5)2 cluster, Ni2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.07 Å) and two longer (2.08 Å) Ni–O bond lengths. C4+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.26 Å) and one longer (1.28 Å) C–O bond length. H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ni2+ and two equivalent H1+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ni2+ and one C4+ atom. In each Pt(NH3)4 cluster, Pt2- is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent N3- atoms. All Pt–N bond lengths are 2.06 Å. N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Pt2- and three H1+ atoms. All N–H bond lengths are 1.03 Å. There are three inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom.
