Materials Data on Rb(SiPt)4 by Materials Project
Rb(PtSi)4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pt+0.25- atoms. There are four shorter (3.31 Å) and four longer (3.44 Å) Rb–Pt bond lengths. Pt+0.25- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and five equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Si bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.57 Å. Si is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pt+0.25- atoms.
