Materials Data on VPt3 by Materials Project

Pt3V crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V2+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent Pt+0.67- atoms. All V–Pt bond lengths are 2.64 Å. There are four inequivalent Pt+0.67- sites. In the first Pt+0.67- site, Pt+0.67- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V2+ and three equivalent Pt+0.67- atoms. All Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.92 Å. In the second Pt+0.67- site, Pt+0.67- is bonded to twelve Pt+0.67- atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing PtPt12 cuboctahedra. All Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.77 Å. In the third Pt+0.67- site, Pt+0.67- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V2+ and three equivalent Pt+0.67- atoms. All Pt–V bond lengths are 2.64 Å. All Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.92 Å. In the fourth Pt+0.67- site, Pt+0.67- is bonded to sixteen Pt+0.67- atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing PtPt16 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Pt–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.77–5.54 Å.
