The crystal structure described by ErPt2Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Er(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pt(1), four equivalent Pt(2), four equivalent Si(1), and four equivalent Si(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt(1) is bonded to four equivalent Er(1) and four equivalent Si(2) atoms to form distorted PtEr4Si4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Si(1)Er4Pt4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Si(1)Er4Pt4 tetrahedra, edges with four equivalent Pt(1)Er4Si4 tetrahedra, and faces with four equivalent Pt(1)Er4Si4 tetrahedra. In the second Pt site, Pt(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Er(1), one Si(2), and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si(1) is bonded to four equivalent Er(1) and four equivalent Pt(2) atoms to form distorted SiEr4Pt4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Pt(1)Er4Si4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Pt(1)Er4Si4 tetrahedra, edges with four equivalent Si(1)Er4Pt4 tetrahedra, and faces with four equivalent Si(1)Er4Pt4 tetrahedra. In the second Si site, Si(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Er(1), one Pt(2), and four equivalent Pt(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
