Materials Data on PtF4 by Materials Project
PtF4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fdd2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pt4+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form corner-sharing PtF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. There are a spread of Pt–F bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.08 Å. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt4+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Pt4+ atoms.
