Materials Data on YPt2 by Materials Project
YPt2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Pt atoms. All Y–Pt bond lengths are 3.20 Å. Pt is bonded to six equivalent Y and six equivalent Pt atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing PtY6Pt6 cuboctahedra. All Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.72 Å.
