Materials Data on SmGaPt by Materials Project
SmPtGa crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pt and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Sm–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.14 Å. There are a spread of Sm–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.13–3.29 Å. Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sm and four equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.63–2.78 Å. Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sm and four equivalent Pt atoms.
