Materials Data on PuPt2 by Materials Project
PuPt2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu4+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Pt2- atoms. All Pu–Pt bond lengths are 3.17 Å. Pt2- is bonded to six equivalent Pu4+ and six equivalent Pt2- atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing PtPu6Pt6 cuboctahedra. All Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.71 Å.
