AbstractThe equiatomic rare earth iridium indidesREIrIn (RE=La, Pr, Nd, Er–Yb) were synthesized by reaction of the elements in induction or muffle furnaces and were characterized through X-ray powder patterns. The structures of LaIr0.86In1.14, PrIr0.89In1.11, NdIr0.94In1.06, ErIrIn (all ZrNiAl type,P6̅2m), and YbIrIn (TiNiSi type,Pnma) were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. Refinements of the occupancy parameters revealed small degrees of solid solutions with indium substitution on the iridium sites. Chemical bonding analyses and electronic structure calculations indicate the dominance of metallic bonding in addition to partial ionic interactions between the cations and polyanions, as well as covalent contributions between the indium and iridium atoms.

The new ternary stannide PrRuSn was synthesized from the elements via arc-melting. PrRuSn is isopointal to the orthorhombic TiNiSi-type structure, space group Pnma. The structure was characterized by X-ray powder and single crystal diffraction: a = 761.7(2), b = 483.9(2) and c = 730.3(3) pm, wR2 = 0.0386, 433 F2 values, 20 variables. The ruthenium and tin atoms in PrRuSn build up a three-dimensional [RuSn] polyanionic network with Ru-Sn distances in the range 268 - 274 pm. The praseodymium atoms fill channels within the polyanion. They bind to the network via short Pr-Ru distances of 301 and 302 pm. Electronic structure calculations on PrRuSn and isopointal PrPdSn underline these features and reveal strong T-Sn (T = Ru, Pd) interactions within both solid state structures.
