Cs2PtCl4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent Cl(1) and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent Cs(1) and one Pt(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing ClCs4Pt square pyramids. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded to four equivalent Cs(1) and one Pt(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing ClCs4Pt square pyramids.
Cs2PtCl4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are two shorter (3.55 Å) and two longer (3.56 Å) Cs(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.55 Å) and two longer (3.56 Å) Cs(1)-Cl(2) bond lengths. Pt(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent Cl(1) and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. Both Pt(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 2.32 Å. Both Pt(1)-Cl(2) bond lengths are 2.32 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent Cs(1) and one Pt(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing ClCs4Pt square pyramids.
