BaPtCd is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. All Ba(1)-Pt(1) bond lengths are 3.03 Å. There is one shorter (2.42 Å) and three longer (3.43 Å) Ba(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths. Pt(1) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to three equivalent Ba(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms. All Pt(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 3.14 Å. Cd(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and three equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
