Li2Pt crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Li(1) and six equivalent Pt(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing PtLi12Pt2 cuboctahedra.
Li2Pt crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Li(1) and six equivalent Pt(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.41 Å) and two longer (2.64 Å) Li(1)-Li(1) bond lengths. All Li(1)-Pt(1) bond lengths are 2.75 Å. Pt(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing PtLi12Pt2 cuboctahedra. Both Pt(1)-Pt(1) bond lengths are 2.64 Å.
