The compound described by VPtSi is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. V(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pt(1) and six equivalent Si(1) atoms to form distorted VSi6Pt4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Si(1)V6Pt4 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent V(1)Si6Pt4 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent Si(1)V6Pt4 tetrahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent V(1)Si6Pt4 tetrahedra. Pt(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent V(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded to six equivalent V(1) and four equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form distorted SiV6Pt4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent V(1)Si6Pt4 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent Si(1)V6Pt4 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent V(1)Si6Pt4 tetrahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Si(1)V6Pt4 tetrahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
