Materials Data on MgPt3 by Materials Project
MgPt3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to twelve equivalent Pt+0.67- atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing MgPt12 cuboctahedra. All Mg–Pt bond lengths are 2.81 Å. Pt+0.67- is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Mg2+ atoms.
