V Si Si Pt
VPtSi2 is alpha Po structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one VPtSi2 cluster. V(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt(1) and one Si(1) atom. The V(1)-Pt(1) bond length is 0.81 Å. The V(1)-Si(1) bond length is 1.17 Å. Pt(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one V(1) and one Si(2) atom. The Pt(1)-Si(2) bond length is 1.17 Å. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one V(1) and one Si(2) atom. The Si(1)-Si(2) bond length is 0.81 Å. In the second Si site, Si(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Pt(1) and one Si(1) atom.
