Materials Data on Cu3Pt by Materials Project

Abstract

PtCu3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pt is bonded to twelve equivalent Cu atoms to form PtCu12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent PtCu12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent CuCu8Pt4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent PtCu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent CuCu8Pt4 cuboctahedra. All Pt–Cu bond lengths are 2.63 Å. Cu is bonded to four equivalent Pt and eight equivalent Cu atoms to form CuCu8Pt4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CuCu8Pt4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent PtCu12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent CuCu8Pt4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent PtCu12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent CuCu8Pt4 cuboctahedra. All Cu–Cu bond lengths are 2.63 Å.
