Materials Data on Th3Pt5 by Materials Project
Th3Pt5 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to ten Pt atoms. There are a spread of Th–Pt bond distances ranging from 3.00–3.58 Å. There are two inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Th and four Pt atoms. All Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.88 Å. In the second Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Th and three equivalent Pt atoms.
