Materials Data on Zr7Pt10 by Materials Project

Abstract

Zr7Pt10 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Zr+2.86+ sites. In the first Zr+2.86+ site, Zr+2.86+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Pt2- atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.88–2.98 Å. In the second Zr+2.86+ site, Zr+2.86+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Pt2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.81 Å) and four longer (2.82 Å) Zr–Pt bond lengths. In the third Zr+2.86+ site, Zr+2.86+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight Pt2- atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.79–2.85 Å. In the fourth Zr+2.86+ site, Zr+2.86+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Pt2- atoms. There are a spread of Zr–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.83–2.92 Å. There are three inequivalent Pt2- sites. In the first Pt2- site, Pt2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Zr+2.86+ atoms. In the second Pt2- site, Pt2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five Zr+2.86+ atoms. In the third Pt2- site, Pt2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Zr+2.86+ atoms.
