Materials Data on Sr(Cd2Pt)2 by Materials Project
Sr(PtCd2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr is bonded to six equivalent Pt atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SrPt6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 41°. There are two shorter (3.34 Å) and four longer (3.45 Å) Sr–Pt bond lengths. Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sr and six equivalent Cd atoms. There are two shorter (2.81 Å) and four longer (2.82 Å) Pt–Cd bond lengths. Cd is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Pt atoms.
