Materials Data on Cs2PtF6 by Materials Project

Abstract

Cs2PtF6 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded to twelve equivalent F1- atoms to form distorted CsF12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent CsF12 cuboctahedra, corners with three equivalent PtF6 octahedra, faces with eight equivalent CsF12 cuboctahedra, and faces with three equivalent PtF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 19°. There are six shorter (3.21 Å) and six longer (3.28 Å) Cs–F bond lengths. Pt4+ is bonded to six equivalent F1- atoms to form PtF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CsF12 cuboctahedra and faces with six equivalent CsF12 cuboctahedra. All Pt–F bond lengths are 1.98 Å. F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Cs1+ and one Pt4+ atom.
