Materials Data on Cd(PtO2)3 by Materials Project
CdPt3O6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pt+3.33+ sites. In the first Pt+3.33+ site, Pt+3.33+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form PtO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent PtO6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent CdO8 hexagonal bipyramids, and edges with two equivalent PtO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 53°. There are two shorter (2.04 Å) and four longer (2.07 Å) Pt–O bond lengths. In the second Pt+3.33+ site, Pt+3.33+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Pt–O bond lengths are 2.01 Å. Cd2+ is bonded to eight O2- atoms to form distorted CdO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share edges with two equivalent CdO8 hexagonal bipyramids and edges with eight equivalent PtO6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.33 Å) and four longer (2.53 Å) Cd–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Pt+3.33+ and one Cd2+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OCdPt3 tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Pt+3.33+ and two equivalent Cd2+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OCd2Pt2 tetrahedra.
