V Cd Cd Pt
VPtCd2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one VPtCd2 cluster. V(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Cd(1) and one Cd(2) atom. The V(1)-Cd(1) bond length is 0.37 Å. The V(1)-Cd(2) bond length is 0.59 Å. Pt(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cd(2) atom. The Pt(1)-Cd(2) bond length is 0.58 Å. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one V(1) and one Cd(2) atom. The Cd(1)-Cd(2) bond length is 0.48 Å. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one V(1), one Pt(1), and one Cd(1) atom.
