UPtGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. There are two inequivalent U sites. In the first U site, U(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pt(1) and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the second U site, U(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pt(1) and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent U(1), three equivalent U(2), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent U(1), three equivalent U(2), and three equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
UPtGe crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. There are two inequivalent U sites. In the first U site, U(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pt(1) and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are four shorter (3.07 Å) and two longer (3.10 Å) U(1)-Pt(1) bond lengths. There are four shorter (3.15 Å) and two longer (3.19 Å) U(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. In the second U site, U(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pt(1) and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.13 Å) and four longer (3.19 Å) U(2)-Pt(1) bond lengths. There are four shorter (3.06 Å) and two longer (3.12 Å) U(2)-Ge(1) bond lengths. Pt(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent U(1), three equivalent U(2), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. All Pt(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.55 Å. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent U(1), three equivalent U(2), and three equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
