Materials Data on Te2Pt by Materials Project
PtTe2 is Calaverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one PtTe2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Pt4+ is bonded to six equivalent Te2- atoms to form edge-sharing PtTe6 octahedra. All Pt–Te bond lengths are 2.73 Å. Te2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt4+ atoms.
