The Pt₃O₄ 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)

---

• This is a simple defect superstructure of the Cesium Chloride (B2) structure.

• Prototype: Pt₃ O₄
• Pearson Symbol: cI14
• Space Group: Im3m (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 229
• Primitive Vectors:

  A1	=	-½ a X + ½ a Y + ½ a Z
  A2	=	+ ½ a X - ½ a Y + ½ a Z
  A3	=	+ ½ a X + ½ a Y - ½ a Z

• Basis Vectors:

  B1	=	½ A2 + ½ A3	=	½ aX	(Pt)	(6b)
  B2	=	½ A1 + ½ A3	=	½ aY	(Pt)	(6b)
  B3	=	½ A1 + ½ A2	=	½ aZ	(Pt)	(6b)
  B4	=	½ A1 + ½ A2 + ½ A3	=	+ ¼ aX + ¼ aY + ¼ aZ	(O)	(8c)
  B5	=	½ A1	=	- ¼ aX + ¼ aY + ¼ aZ	(O)	(8c)
  B6	=	½ A2	=	+ ¼ aX - ¼ aY + ¼ aZ	(O)	(8c)
  B7	=	½ A3	=	+ ¼ aX + ¼ aY - ¼ aZ	(O)	(8c)

See these vectors in LaTeX output format.
