PtBi is Molybdenum Carbide MAX Phase-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Pt(1) is bonded to six equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing PtBi6 pentagonal pyramids. Bi(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing BiPt6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 45°.
