Materials Data on SmGe2Pt by Materials Project

Abstract

SmPtGe2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sm sites. In the first Sm site, Sm is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pt and ten Ge atoms. All Sm–Pt bond lengths are 3.30 Å. There are four shorter (3.30 Å) and six longer (3.40 Å) Sm–Ge bond lengths. In the second Sm site, Sm is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pt and eight Ge atoms. There are four shorter (3.25 Å) and two longer (3.28 Å) Sm–Pt bond lengths. There are a spread of Sm–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.08 Å. Pt is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to five Sm and five Ge atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.68 Å. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Sm, two equivalent Pt, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.45 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm, two equivalent Pt, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.45 Å. In the third Ge site, Ge is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four Sm, three equivalent Pt, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.65 Å.
