Materials Data on NiPt3 by Materials Project
Pt3Ni is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pt+0.67- is bonded to eight equivalent Pt+0.67- and four equivalent Ni2+ atoms to form PtNi4Pt8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent PtNi4Pt8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent NiPt12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent PtNi4Pt8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent NiPt12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent PtNi4Pt8 cuboctahedra. All Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.74 Å. All Pt–Ni bond lengths are 2.74 Å. Ni2+ is bonded to twelve equivalent Pt+0.67- atoms to form NiPt12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent NiPt12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent PtNi4Pt8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent NiPt12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent PtNi4Pt8 cuboctahedra.
