The material structure described by PtGeTe is Spinel-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic P2_13 space group. Pt(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ge(1) and three equivalent Te(1) atoms to form PtGe3Te3 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Pt(1)Ge3Te3 octahedra, corners with three equivalent Te(1)GePt3 tetrahedra, and corners with three equivalent Ge(1)TePt3 trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 63-64°. Ge(1) is bonded to three equivalent Pt(1) and one Te(1) atom to form distorted GeTePt3 trigonal pyramids that share corners with three equivalent Pt(1)Ge3Te3 octahedra, corners with nine equivalent Te(1)GePt3 tetrahedra, and corners with six equivalent Ge(1)TePt3 trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 79°. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent Pt(1) and one Ge(1) atom to form TeGePt3 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Pt(1)Ge3Te3 octahedra, corners with six equivalent Te(1)GePt3 tetrahedra, and corners with nine equivalent Ge(1)TePt3 trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 80°. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
