Materials Data on TiPt8 by Materials Project
Pt8Ti crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two Pt8Ti ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ti4+ is bonded to twelve Pt+0.50- atoms to form face-sharing TiPt12 cuboctahedra. There are eight shorter (2.76 Å) and four longer (2.77 Å) Ti–Pt bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pt+0.50- sites. In the first Pt+0.50- site, Pt+0.50- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the second Pt+0.50- site, Pt+0.50- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ti4+ atom.
