LiPtAl crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pt(1) and five equivalent Al(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded to six equivalent Li(1), two equivalent Pt(1), and six equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing PtLi6Al6Pt2 cuboctahedra. Al(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Li(1) and six equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
LiPtAl crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pt(1) and five equivalent Al(1) atoms. All Li(1)-Pt(1) bond lengths are 2.76 Å. There are three shorter (2.40 Å) and two longer (2.71 Å) Li(1)-Al(1) bond lengths. Pt(1) is bonded to six equivalent Li(1), two equivalent Pt(1), and six equivalent Al(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing PtLi6Al6Pt2 cuboctahedra. Both Pt(1)-Pt(1) bond lengths are 2.71 Å. All Pt(1)-Al(1) bond lengths are 2.76 Å. Al(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Li(1) and six equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
