Materials Data on RePt by Materials Project

Abstract

PtRe crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Re is bonded to six equivalent Re and six equivalent Pt atoms to form distorted ReRe6Pt6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent ReRe6Pt6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent ReRe6Pt6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent PtRe6Pt6 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent ReRe6Pt6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent PtRe6Pt6 cuboctahedra. All Re–Re bond lengths are 2.79 Å. All Re–Pt bond lengths are 2.77 Å.
