Materials Data on YGaPt by Materials Project
YPtGa crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pt and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Y–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.09 Å. There are a spread of Y–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.26 Å. Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y and four equivalent Ga atoms. There are three shorter (2.62 Å) and one longer (2.76 Å) Pt–Ga bond lengths. Ga is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y and four equivalent Pt atoms.
