Materials Data on Ta3Pt by Materials Project
Ta3Pt is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ta is bonded to eight equivalent Ta and four equivalent Pt atoms to form distorted TaTa8Pt4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent TaTa8Pt4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent PtTa12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent TaTa8Pt4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent PtTa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent TaTa8Pt4 cuboctahedra. All Ta–Ta bond lengths are 2.92 Å. All Ta–Pt bond lengths are 2.92 Å. Pt is bonded to twelve equivalent Ta atoms to form PtTa12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent PtTa12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent TaTa8Pt4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent PtTa12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent TaTa8Pt4 cuboctahedra.
