Nb6PtPd crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. Nb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb(1), two equivalent Pt(1), and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb(1) atoms to form PtNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Pt(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Pd(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra. Pd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb(1) atoms to form PdNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Pd(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Pt(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra.
Nb6PtPd crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. Nb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb(1), two equivalent Pt(1), and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.58 Å) and one longer (2.62 Å) Nb(1)-Nb(1) bond length. Both Nb(1)-Pt(1) bond lengths are 2.90 Å. Both Nb(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 2.91 Å. Pt(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb(1) atoms to form PtNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Pt(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Pd(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra. Pd(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb(1) atoms to form PdNb12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Pd(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Pt(1)Nb12 cuboctahedra.
