BaPtCd2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt(1) and ten equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ba(1) and three equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
BaPtCd2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 13-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt(1) and ten equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There is one shorter (3.17 Å) and two longer (3.35 Å) Ba(1)-Pt(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Ba(1)-Cd(1) bond distances ranging from 3.57-3.71 Å. Pt(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are four shorter (2.85 Å) and two longer (2.88 Å) Pt(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths. Cd(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ba(1) and three equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
