NbPt is beta-prime cadmium gold structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmma space group. Nb(1) is bonded to four equivalent Nb(1) and eight equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form distorted NbNb4Pt8 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Pt(1)Nb8Pt4 cuboctahedra, corners with ten equivalent Nb(1)Nb4Pt8 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Nb(1)Nb4Pt8 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Pt(1)Nb8Pt4 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Pt(1)Nb8Pt4 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Nb(1)Nb4Pt8 cuboctahedra. Pt(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Nb(1) and four equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form distorted PtNb8Pt4 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight equivalent Nb(1)Nb4Pt8 cuboctahedra, corners with ten equivalent Pt(1)Nb8Pt4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Pt(1)Nb8Pt4 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent Nb(1)Nb4Pt8 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent Nb(1)Nb4Pt8 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Pt(1)Nb8Pt4 cuboctahedra.
