OsPtCl2 crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Os(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Pt(1) and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Os(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ClPt4 tetrahedra. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded to four equivalent Os(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ClOs4 tetrahedra.
