Materials Data on OsPtCl2 by Materials Project

Abstract

OsPtCl2 crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Os2- is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Pt4+ and four equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Os–Pt bond lengths are 2.78 Å. All Os–Cl bond lengths are 2.78 Å. Pt4+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Os2- and four equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Pt–Cl bond lengths are 2.78 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded to four equivalent Pt4+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing ClPt4 tetrahedra. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded to four equivalent Os2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing ClOs4 tetrahedra.
