Materials Data on VSnPt by Materials Project
PtVSn is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded to four equivalent Pt and six equivalent Sn atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing VSn6Pt4 tetrahedra. All V–Pt bond lengths are 2.67 Å. All V–Sn bond lengths are 3.09 Å. Pt is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent V and four equivalent Sn atoms. All Pt–Sn bond lengths are 2.67 Å. Sn is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent V and four equivalent Pt atoms.
