Materials Data on YSiPt by Materials Project
YPtSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pt and six equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Y–Pt bond distances ranging from 3.00–3.19 Å. There are a spread of Y–Si bond distances ranging from 2.98–3.19 Å. Pt is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y and four equivalent Si atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Si bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.71 Å. Si is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Y and four equivalent Pt atoms.
