Materials Data on HoSiPt2 by Materials Project
HoPt2Si crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pt and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.17 Å. There are two shorter (2.97 Å) and one longer (3.00 Å) Ho–Si bond lengths. Pt is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho and three equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Si bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.62 Å. Si is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho and six equivalent Pt atoms.
