Materials Data on P2Pt by Materials Project
PtP2 is Pyrite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pt2- is bonded to six equivalent P1+ atoms to form corner-sharing PtP6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 65°. All Pt–P bond lengths are 2.42 Å. P1+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Pt2- atoms.
