The MoPt₂ Structure

You can now

• see the structure from several perspectives;
• examine the structure with an external viewer; or
• download the coordinates of the atoms in these pictures in XYZ format.
• visualize the structure (Uses the JMOL Applet)

---

• Rotating this structure by 90^o about the X axis transforms it into the ReSi₂ structure.

---

• Prototype: MoPt₂
• Pearson Symbol: oI6
• Space Group: Immm (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 71
• Other compounds with this structure: NbPt₂, Ni₂U, Pd₂Ta, Pd₂V Pt₂V, Pt₂W
• Primitive Vectors:

  A1	=	a X
  A2	=	b Y
  A3	=	½ a X + ½ b Y + ½ c Z

• Basis Vectors:

  B1	=		0		(Mo)	(2a)
  B2	=	+ y A2	=	+ y b Y	(Pt)	(4g)
  B3	=	- y A2	=	- y b Y	(Pt)	(4g)
