Zr5CuSn3 was prepared from the elements in an arc-melting furnace and investigated by X-ray diffraction of powders as well as of single crystals. The crystal structure was refined from four-circle diffractometer data: P63/mcm, a = 860.04(7) pm, c = 586.80(5) pm, V = 0.3759(1) nm3, Z = 2, wR2 = 0.0402 for 371 F2 values and 15 variables. A refinement of the occupancy parameters re­vealed that the copper position is occupied to only 95.3(8)% in the crystal used for the X-ray investigation. Zr5CuSn3 crystallizes in the Hf5CuSn3 type structure, a filled variant of the Mn5Si3 type. The main features of the Zr5CuSn3 structure are condensed Zr6 octahedra that are centered by copper atoms

Gadolinium Compound

The stannides LnRu4Sn6 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) were prepared by reaction of the elements in an arc-melting furnace and subsequent annealing at 1120 K. The praseodymium, the neodymium, and the samarium stannide were obtained for the first time. The LnRu4Sn6 stannides were investigated by X-ray diffraction both on powders and single crystals. They adopt the YRu4Sn6 type structure which was refined from single crystal X-ray data for the samarium and the gadolinium compound: I4̄2m, a = 686.1 (1), c = 977.7(2) pm, wR2 = 0.0649, 483 F2 values for SmRu4Sn6, and a = 685.2(1), c = 977.6(3) pm, wR2 = 0.0629, 554 F2 values for GdRu4Sn6 with 19 variables for each refinement. The striking structural motif of these stannides are distorted RuSn6 octahedra with Ru-Sn distances ranging from 257 to 278 pm. Four of such octahedra are condensed via common edges and faces forming [Ru4Sn6] units which are packed in a tetragonal body-centered arrangement. The rare-earth atoms fill the voids between the [Ru4Sn6] units. Based on an extended Hückel calculation, strong bonding interactions were found for the Ru-Sn and the various Sn-Sn contacts.

The ternary indides LnRhIn2 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) were synthesized by arc-melting of the elements under an argon atmosphere and subsequent annealing at 870 K. The samples have been investigated by X-ray diffraction on powders and single crystals: MgCuAl2 type, Cmcm, a = 448.2(1), b = 1025.7(1), c = 795.1(1) pm, wR2 = 0.0372, 228 F2 values, 16 variables for LaRhIn2, a = 446.0(1), b = 1017.3(2), c = 792.7(1) pm for CeRhIn2, a = 444.03(6), b = 1013.1(1), c = 792.5(1) pm for PrRhIn2, a = 442.49(5), b = 1012.7(1), c = 789.3(1) pm for NdRhIn2, and a = 438.1(1), b = 1009.3(1), c = 788.3(1) pm, wR2= 0.0414, 304 F2 values, 16 variables for SmRhIn2. Geometrical motifs of these structures are tricapped trigonal prisms around the rhodium atoms. The shortest interatomic distances were observed for the Rh-In contacts: 280-282 pm for LaRhIn2 and 276-279 pm for SmRhIn2. Together, the rhodium and indium atoms build a three-dimensional [RhIn2] polyanion in which the lanthanoid atoms fill distorted pentagonal channels. According to one short La-Rh (282 pm) and Sm-Rh (284 pm) distance one can assume strong bonding of the lanthanoid atoms to the polyanion.

Abstract The intermetallic compound LaNi11.8–11.4Si1.2–1.6 was synthesized by arc-melting and its crystal structure was determined using powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The compound adopts the cubic CaCu6.5Al6.5-type structure (space group Fm 3 ‾ $\bar{3}$ c, Pearson code cF112, Z = 8), which is a partially ordered ternary derivative of the NaZn13 type: a = 11.256(4) Å, V = 1426.1(15) Å3, R = 0.0133, wR = 0.0285 for 93 reflections with I > 2 σ(I) for LaNi11.4Si1.6; a = 11.25486(8) Å, V = 1425.68(2) Å3, R p = 4.17%, R wp = 5.85%, R B = 3.44% for LaNi11.8Si1.2. One of its crystallographic positions (96i) is occupied by a mixture of Ni and Si atoms. The structure of this new silicide can be represented as a packing of Ni-centered icosahedra and La-centered snub cubes, which are packed in a CsCl-related manner.

Ti2In5 was prepared from the elemental components in a tantalum tube at 970 K and investigated by X-ray diffraction of powders as well as of single crystals. The crystal structure was refined from four-circle diffractometer data: P4/mbm, a = 1000.35(5) pm, c = 299.77(2) pm, V = 0.29998(5) nm3, Z = 2, wR2 = 0.0367 for 369 F2 values and 15 variables. Ti2In5 crystallizes with the Mn2Hg5 type structure. The indium atoms form consecutive planar layers which may be considered as a tesselation of triangles, squares, and pentagons. The titanium atoms occupy the pentagonal prismatic voids between these layers. Ti2In5 is Pauli paramagnetic and a good metallic conductor with a specific resistivity of 50 μΩcm at room temperature. The compound was previously described with the composition “Ti3In4”.

And Behavior

Some novel cobalt diphenylphosphine complexes were synthesized by reacting cobalt(II) chloride with (2-methoxyethyl)diphenylphosphine, (2-methoxyphenyl)diphenylphosphine, and 2-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)-6-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained for the first two complexes, and their crystal structure was determined. The novel compounds were then used in association with methylaluminoxane (MAO) for the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene, and their behavior was compared with that exhibited in the polymerization of the same monomer by the systems CoCl2(PnPrPh2)2/MAO and CoCl2(PPh3)2/MAO. Some significant differences were observed depending on the MAO/Co ratio used, and a plausible interpretation for such a different behavior is proposed.

Single crystals of rubidium tetrafluoridobromate(III), RbBrF4, were grown by melting and recrystallizing RbBrF4 from its melt. This is the first determination of the crystal structure of RbBrF4 using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. We confirmed that the structure contains square-planar [BrF4]− anions and rubidium cations that are coordinated by F atoms in a square-antiprismatic manner. The compound crystallizes in the KBrF4 structure type. Atomic coordinates and bond lengths and angles were determined with higher precision than in a previous report based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Ivlev et al. (2015). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 641, 2593–2598].

Ti-based alloys present unique properties and hence, are employed in several industrial segments. Among Ti alloys, β type alloys form one of the most versatile classes of materials in relation to processing, microstructure and mechanical properties. It is well known that heat treatment of Ti alloys plays an important role in determining their microstructure and mechanical behavior. The aim of this work is to analyze microstructure and phases formed during cooling of β Ti-Nb-Sn alloy through different cooling rates. Initially, samples of Ti-Nb-Sn system were prepared through arc melting furnace. After, they were subjected to continuous cooling experiments to evaluate conditions for obtaining metastable phases. Microstructure analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction were performed in order to evaluate phase transformations. Depending on the cooling rate and composition, α” martensite, ω phase and β phase were obtained. Elastic modulus has been found to decrease as the amount of Sn was increased.

Abstract Phase formation in the solid solution TbNiIn1−x Ga x at 873 K was investigated in the full concentration range by means of powder X-ray diffraction and EDX analysis. The samples were synthesized by arc-melting of the pure metals with subsequent annealing at 873 K for one month. The influence of the substitution of indium by gallium on the type of structure and solubility was studied. The solubility ranges have been determined and changes of the unit cell parameters were calculated on the basis of powder X-ray diffraction data: TbNiIn1–0.4Ga0–0.6 (ZrNiAl-type structure, space group P 6 ‾ 2 m $P‾{6}2m$ , a = 0.74461(8)–0.72711(17) and c = 0.37976(5)–0.37469(8) nm); TbNiIn0.2–0Ga0.8–1.0 (TiNiSi-type structure, space group Pnma, а = 0.68950(11)–0.68830(12), b = 0.43053(9)–0.42974(6), с = 0.74186(10)–0.73486(13) nm). The crystal structures of TbNiGa (TiNiSi type, Pnma, a = 0.69140(5), b = 0.43047(7), c = 0.73553(8) nm, wR2=0.0414, 525 F 2 values, 21 variables), TbNiIn0.83(1)Ga0.17(1) (ZrNiAl type, P 6 ‾ 2 m $P‾{6}2m$ , a = 0.74043(6), c = 0.37789(3) nm, wR2 = 0.0293, 322 F 2 values, 16 variables) and TbNiIn0.12(2)Ga0.88(2) (TiNiSi type, Pnma, a = 0.69124(6), b = 0.43134(9), c = 0.74232(11) nm, wR2 = 0.0495, 516 F 2 values, 21 variables) have been determined. The characteristics of the solid solutions and the variations of the unit cell parameters are briefly discussed.
