Materials Data on Y5Pt3 by Materials Project
Y5Pt3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pt atoms. All Y–Pt bond lengths are 3.06 Å. In the second Y site, Y is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pt atoms. There are a spread of Y–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.32 Å. Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Y atoms.
