Materials Data on PuPt5 by Materials Project
PuPt5 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pu6+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to eighteen Pt+1.20- atoms. There are six shorter (3.08 Å) and twelve longer (3.48 Å) Pu–Pt bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pt+1.20- sites. In the first Pt+1.20- site, Pt+1.20- is bonded to four equivalent Pu6+ and eight Pt+1.20- atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing PtPu4Pt8 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (2.67 Å) and four longer (2.71 Å) Pt–Pt bond lengths. In the second Pt+1.20- site, Pt+1.20- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pu6+ and nine Pt+1.20- atoms. All Pt–Pt bond lengths are 3.08 Å.
