Materials Data on BaPt2 by Materials Project
BaPt2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Pt atoms. All Ba–Pt bond lengths are 3.35 Å. Pt is bonded to six equivalent Ba and six equivalent Pt atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing PtBa6Pt6 cuboctahedra. All Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.86 Å.
