Materials Data on YbIn4Pt by Materials Project
YbPtIn4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pt and eleven In atoms. Both Yb–Pt bond lengths are 3.26 Å. There are a spread of Yb–In bond distances ranging from 3.26–3.69 Å. Pt is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb and seven In atoms. There are a spread of Pt–In bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.83 Å. There are three inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to four equivalent Yb and six In atoms. There are two shorter (3.07 Å) and four longer (3.14 Å) In–In bond lengths. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Yb, one Pt, and four equivalent In atoms. In the third In site, In is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb, three equivalent Pt, and one In atom.
