Materials Data on Ce(InPt)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

CePt2In2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five Pt and nine In atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.23 Å. There are a spread of Ce–In bond distances ranging from 3.33–3.57 Å. In the second Ce site, Ce is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Pt atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.22 Å. There are four inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce and six In atoms. There are four shorter (2.82 Å) and two longer (2.95 Å) Pt–In bond lengths. In the second Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three Ce and five In atoms. There are a spread of Pt–In bond distances ranging from 2.87–2.96 Å. In the third Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four Ce and five In atoms. There are a spread of Pt–In bond distances ranging from 2.71–2.83 Å. In the fourth Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce and three equivalent In atoms. There are two shorter (2.81 Å) and one longer (2.84 Å) Pt–In bond lengths. There are four inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce and four Pt atoms. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce and four Pt atoms. In the third In site, In is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce and five Pt atoms. In the fourth In site, In is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Ce and six Pt atoms.
