Pt5ZnP crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. There are two inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second Pt site, Pt(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pt(2) and eight equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing ZnPt12 cuboctahedra. P(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
Pt5ZnP crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. There are two inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. Both Pt(1)-Zn(1) bond lengths are 2.80 Å. Both Pt(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.43 Å. In the second Pt site, Pt(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Zn(1) atoms. All Pt(2)-Zn(1) bond lengths are 2.75 Å. Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pt(2) and eight equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing ZnPt12 cuboctahedra. P(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
