Materials Data on PrB2Pt2C by Materials Project
PrPt2B2C crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pr3+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent C3- atoms. All Pr–C bond lengths are 2.74 Å. Pt is bonded to four equivalent B atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing PtB4 tetrahedra. All Pt–B bond lengths are 2.29 Å. B is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Pt and one C3- atom. The B–C bond length is 1.48 Å. C3- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Pr3+ and two equivalent B atoms.
