The structure described by Er7(PtTe)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. There are four inequivalent Er sites. In the first Er site, Er(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pt(1), one Te(2), and two equivalent Te(1) atoms. In the second Er site, Er(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the third Er site, Er(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pt(1) and two equivalent Te(2) atoms. In the fourth Er site, Er(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Te(2) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms. Pt(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er(1), two equivalent Er(3), and three equivalent Er(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er(2), two equivalent Er(4), and four equivalent Er(1) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Er(4), two equivalent Er(1), and four equivalent Er(3) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
