ErPt3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Er is bonded to twelve equivalent Pt atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing ErPt12 cuboctahedra. All Er–Pt bond lengths are 2.90 Å. Pt is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Er atoms.
Er2Pt is Cotunnite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Er sites.
