BaPt2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Pt(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ba(1) and six equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing PtBa6Pt6 cuboctahedra.
