The PtS (B17) 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)

---

• Prototype: PtS
• Pearson Symbol: tP4
• Strukturbericht Designation: B17
• Space Group: P4₂/mmc (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 131
• Other Compounds with this Structure: Pt₄S₄Se
• Primitive Vectors:

  A1	=	a X
  A2	=	a Y
  A3	=	c Z

• Basis Vector:

  B1	=	½ A2	=	½ a Y	(Pt)	(2c)
  B2	=	½ A1 + ½ A3	=	½ a X + ½ a Z	(Pt)	(2c)
  B3	=	¼ A3	=	¼ a Z	(S)	(2e)
  B4	=	¾ A3	=	¾ a Z	(S)	(2e)
