Materials Data on YInPt2 by Materials Project
YPt2In crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pt2- atoms. There are six shorter (3.01 Å) and two longer (3.11 Å) Y–Pt bond lengths. Pt2- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y3+ and three equivalent In1+ atoms. All Pt–In bond lengths are 2.78 Å. In1+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent Pt2- atoms.
