PtNiO2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Pt(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing NiO6 octahedra. O(1) is bonded to one Pt(1) and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ONi3Pt trigonal pyramids.
PtNiO2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Pt(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both Pt(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.96 Å. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing NiO6 octahedra. All Ni(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.00 Å. O(1) is bonded to one Pt(1) and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ONi3Pt trigonal pyramids.
