Li2PtH6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Li(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent H(1) atoms to form distorted LiH12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Li(1)H12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Li(1)H12 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent Pt(1)H6 octahedra. Pt(1) is bonded to six equivalent H(1) atoms to form PtH6 octahedra that share faces with eight equivalent Li(1)H12 cuboctahedra. H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to four equivalent Li(1) and one Pt(1) atom.
