Materials Data on TaPt2 by Materials Project
Pt2Ta crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ta4+ is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to ten equivalent Pt2- atoms. There are a spread of Ta–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.74–2.87 Å. Pt2- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ta4+ atoms.
