The material structure described by Pt3V crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. V(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pt(1) atoms to form distorted VPt6 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Pt(2)Pt12 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent V(1)Pt6 cuboctahedra, and edges with six equivalent Pt(2)Pt12 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent V(1) and three equivalent Pt(2) atoms. In the second Pt site, Pt(2) is bonded to six equivalent Pt(1) and six equivalent Pt(2) atoms to form PtPt12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)Pt6 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent Pt(2)Pt12 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent V(1)Pt6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Pt(2)Pt12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent Pt(2)Pt12 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
