Materials Data on Sr2CdPt2 by Materials Project
Sr2Pt2Cd crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pt and four equivalent Cd atoms. There are two shorter (3.23 Å) and four longer (3.25 Å) Sr–Pt bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.52 Å) and two longer (3.61 Å) Sr–Cd bond lengths. Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sr, one Pt, and two equivalent Cd atoms. The Pt–Pt bond length is 2.72 Å. Both Pt–Cd bond lengths are 2.82 Å. Cd is bonded to eight equivalent Sr and four equivalent Pt atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing CdSr8Pt4 cuboctahedra.
