YbPt2Si crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pt(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and six equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
YbPt2Si crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pt(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. There are a spread of Yb(1)-Pt(1) bond distances ranging from 2.89-3.14 Å. There is one shorter (2.93 Å) and two longer (2.95 Å) Yb(1)-Si(1) bond lengths. Pt(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. There are a spread of Pt(1)-Si(1) bond distances ranging from 2.45-2.56 Å. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and six equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
