Abstract

CeLa(PtGe)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight Pt and eight Ge atoms. There are a spread of Ce–Pt bond distances ranging from 3.29–3.40 Å. There are a spread of Ce–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.25–3.40 Å. La is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Pt and eight Ge atoms. There are a spread of La–Pt bond distances ranging from 3.33–3.42 Å. There are a spread of La–Ge bond distances ranging from 3.30–3.39 Å. There are four inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La and five Ge atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Ge bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.54 Å.
