Materials Data on MgPPt5 by Materials Project
MgPtPt4P crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one magnesium molecule; one platinum molecule; and one Pt4P sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the Pt4P sheet, Pt+0.20+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent P3- atoms. Both Pt–P bond lengths are 2.45 Å. P3- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Pt+0.20+ atoms.
