Pt2Mo3N crystallizes in the cubic P4_132 space group. Mo(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to six equivalent Pt(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded to nine equivalent Mo(1) and three equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form PtMo9Pt3 cuboctahedra that share corners with fifteen equivalent Pt(1)Mo9Pt3 cuboctahedra, edges with three equivalent N(1)Mo6 octahedra, faces with ten equivalent Pt(1)Mo9Pt3 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent N(1)Mo6 octahedra. N(1) is bonded to six equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form distorted NMo6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent N(1)Mo6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Pt(1)Mo9Pt3 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Pt(1)Mo9Pt3 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 26°.
Pt2Mo3N crystallizes in the cubic P4_132 space group. Mo(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to six equivalent Pt(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. There are a spread of Mo(1)-Pt(1) bond distances ranging from 2.75-2.91 Å. Both Mo(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.15 Å. Pt(1) is bonded to nine equivalent Mo(1) and three equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form PtMo9Pt3 cuboctahedra that share corners with fifteen equivalent Pt(1)Mo9Pt3 cuboctahedra, edges with three equivalent N(1)Mo6 octahedra, faces with ten equivalent Pt(1)Mo9Pt3 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent N(1)Mo6 octahedra. All Pt(1)-Pt(1) bond lengths are 2.60 Å. N(1) is bonded to six equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form distorted NMo6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent N(1)Mo6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Pt(1)Mo9Pt3 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Pt(1)Mo9Pt3 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 26°.
