Materials Data on ScPPt by Materials Project
ScPtP crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sc3+ is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pt2- and five equivalent P1- atoms. There are a spread of Sc–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.11 Å. There are a spread of Sc–P bond distances ranging from 2.69–2.84 Å. Pt2- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sc3+, two equivalent Pt2-, and four equivalent P1- atoms. Both Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.95 Å. There are a spread of Pt–P bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.75 Å. P1- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sc3+ and four equivalent Pt2- atoms.
