VPtGe is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. V(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Pt(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded to four equivalent V(1) and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form distorted PtV4Ge6 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ge(1)V4Pt6 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent Pt(1)V4Ge6 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent Ge(1)V4Pt6 tetrahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Pt(1)V4Ge6 tetrahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to four equivalent V(1) and six equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form distorted GeV4Pt6 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Pt(1)V4Ge6 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent Ge(1)V4Pt6 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent Pt(1)V4Ge6 tetrahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Ge(1)V4Pt6 tetrahedra.
