Materials Data on UPdPt4 by Materials Project
UPt4Pd is beta-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U6+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Pt2- atoms. All U–Pt bond lengths are 3.11 Å. Pt2- is bonded to three equivalent U6+, six equivalent Pt2-, and three equivalent Pd2+ atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing PtU3Pd3Pt6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.64 Å) and three longer (2.66 Å) Pt–Pt bond lengths. All Pt–Pd bond lengths are 3.11 Å. Pd2+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Pt2- atoms.
