Materials Data on Gd(SiPt)2 by Materials Project
GdPt2Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pt and eight equivalent Si atoms. All Gd–Pt bond lengths are 3.25 Å. All Gd–Si bond lengths are 3.20 Å. Pt is bonded to four equivalent Gd and four equivalent Si atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing PtGd4Si4 tetrahedra. All Pt–Si bond lengths are 2.48 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Gd, four equivalent Pt, and one Si atom. The Si–Si bond length is 2.36 Å.
