Bonding Schemes for Polar Intermetallics through Molecular Orbital Models: Ca-Supported Pt–Pt Bonds in Ca10Pt7Si3
Exploratory synthesis in the area of polar intermetallics has yielded a rich variety of structures that offer clues into the transition in bonding between Zintl and Hume-Rothery phases. In this article, we present a bonding analysis of one such compound, Ca10Pt7Si3, whose large Ca content offers the...
