LiPtN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to four equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NLi4Pt2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 42-65°.
LiPtN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. There are a spread of Li(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.26-2.39 Å. Pt(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. Both Pt(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.93 Å. N(1) is bonded to four equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NLi4Pt2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 42-65°.
