Materials Data on TaSiPt by Materials Project
TaPtSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ta is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pt and five equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Ta–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.10 Å. There are a spread of Ta–Si bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.82 Å. Pt is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ta and four equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Si bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.52 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ta and four equivalent Pt atoms.
