Annealing Temperatures

AbstractNew alkaline earth-gold-aluminides were synthesized from the elements in sealed tantalum or quartz ampoules in muffle furnaces at maximum annealing temperatures of 1325 K. The structures were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. SrAu3Al2 crystallizes in an ordered version of the LT-SrZn5 structure: Pnma, a = 1315.9(3), b = 549.0(1), c = 684.5(3) pm, wR2 = 0.0232, 930 F2 values, 35 variables. SrAu2.83Al2.17 (a = 1065.0(2), b = 845.0(2), c = 548.1(1) pm, wR2 = 0.0416, 452 F2 values, 22 variables) and BaAu2.89Al2.11 (a = 1096.1(3), b = 835.7(3), c = 554.0(1) pm, wR2 = 0.0280, 501 F2 values, 22 variables) both adopt the BaZn5 type, space group Cmcm with Au/Al mixing on the 4c site. The gold and aluminum atoms in both types form three-dimensional networks of condensed tetrahedra with the strontium and barium atoms in large cavities. BaAu7.09Al5.91 is a new member of the NaZn13 type: Fm3̅c, a = 1257.6(2) pm, wR2 = 0.0267, 168 F2 values, 12 variables. Both the 96i and 8b sites show Au/Al mixing. The crystal chemical details are discussed.

Trigonal Prisms

The indides RE14T3In3 (RE = Y, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu; T = Pd, Ir, Pt) and Y4IrIn were synthesized from the elements by arc-melting and subsequent annealing for crystal growth. Their structures were characterized on the basis of X-ray powder and single crystal data: Lu14Co3In3-type, space group P42/nmc, a = 970.2(1), c = 2340.7(5) pm for Y13.95Pd3In3.05, a = 959.7(1), c = 2309.0(5) pm for Ho14Pd2.95In3, a = 955.5(1), c = 2305.1(5) pm for Er14Pd3In3, a = 950.9(1), c = 2291.6(5) pm for Tm13.90Pd3In3.10, a = 944.4(1), c = 2275.5(5) pm for Lu13.93Pd3In3.07, a = 962.9(1), c = 2343.0(5) pm for Y13.86Ir2.97In3.02, a = 967.6(1), c = 2347.8(5) pm for Y13.92Pt3.05In2.91, and Gd4RhIn-type, space group F 4̅3m, a = 1368.6(2) pm for Y4IrIn. The main structural motifs are transition metal-centered trigonal prisms of the rare earth elements which are condensed to twodimensional networks in the RE14T3In3 indides and to a three-dimensional one in Y4IrIn. The indium atoms in both structure types show segregation in the metal-rich matrix, i. e. In2 dumbbells in the RE14T3In3 indides (309 pm In2-In2 in Y13.86Ir2.97In3.02) and In4 tetrahedra (322 pm In-In) in Y4IrIn. The crystal chemical peculiarities of both structure types are discussed.

AbstractThe indium-rich intermetallic compound CaPtIn4 is formed in a peritectic reaction of CaPtIn2 and indium metal at T = 670 K (14 days annealing). CaPtIn4 crystallizes with the YNiAl4-type structure, space group Cmcm, which was refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data: a = 446.3(5), b = 1659.50(18), c = 756.8(8) pm, wR2 = 0.0646, 640 F2 values and 24 variables. Geometrically one can describe the CaPtIn4 structure as an intergrowth variant of CaPtIn2 (MgCuAl2 type) and indium slabs. The three-dimensional [PtIn4] polyanionic network shows short Pt–In distances of 269–280 pm and a broader range of In–In distances (304–378 pm) within substantially distorted In@In8 cubes.

Cadmium Compounds

New intermetallic compounds RE4TCd (RE = Y, La-Nd, Sm, Gd-Tm, Lu; T = Ni, Pd, Ir, Pt) were synthesized by melting of the elements in sealed tantalum tubes in a highfrequency furnace. They crystallize with the Gd4RhIn-type structure, space group F 4̄3m, Z = 16. The four gadolinium compounds were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffractometer data: a = 1361.7(1) pm, wR2 = 0.062, 456 F2 values, 19 variables for Gd4NiCd; a = 1382.1(2) pm, wR2 = 0.077, 451 F2 values, 19 variables for Gd4PdCd; a = 1363.6(2) pm, wR2 = 0.045, 494 F2 values, 19 variables for Gd4IrCd; a = 1379.0(1) pm, wR2 = 0.045, 448 F2 values, 19 variables for Gd4PtCd. The rare earth atoms build up transition metal-centered trigonal prisms which are condensed via common corners and edges, leading to three-dimensional adamantane-related networks. The cadmium atoms form Cd4 tetrahedra which fill voids left in the prisms’ network.

Abstract EuPdSn and EuPtSn were prepared from the elements in tantalum tubes at 1070 K and investigated by X-ray diffraction on both powder as well as single crystals. They crystallize with the TiNiSi type structure of space group Pnma and with Z = 4 formula units per cell. Both structures were refined from single-crystal diffractometer data: a = 751.24(9), b = 469.15(6), c = 804.31(9) pm, V = 0.2835(1) nm3 for EuPdSn, and a = 753.38(7), b = 467.72(4), c = 793.08(7) pm, V = 0.2795(1) nnr for EuPtSn. The structures consist of three-dimensional [PdSn] and [PtSn] polyanionic networks in which the europium atoms are embedded. The crystal chemistry of these stannides is briefly discussed

AbstractThe new compounds A4[Nb6Cl12(N3)6](H2O)2 (A = Rb, Cs) were synthesized from In4[Nb6Cl12Cl6] by substituting six terminal Cl ligands and the In+ ions in methanolic solution. An X-ray structure refinement was performed on single-crystal data of Rb4[Nb6Cl12(N3)6](H2O)2 (1) (space group P1̄, Z = 1, a = 912.5(1) pm, b = 937.2(1) pm, c = 1062.0(1) pm, α = 96.88(2)°, β = 101.89(1)°, γ = 101.44(2)°) and Cs4[Nb6Cl12(N3)6](H2O)2 (2) (space group PI, Z = 1, a = 920.9(5) pm, b = 947.9(7) pm, c = 1091.8(7) pm, α = 96.89(6)°, β = 103.35(5)°, γ = 101.60(5)°. Each of the centrosymmetric [Nb6Cl12(N3)6]4- ions of the isotypic compounds contains six terminal azide groups at the corners of the octahedral niobium cluster (d̄Nb-N = 226(1) pm (1), 225(1) pm (2), bond angles Nb-N-N 120-127°). The [Nb6Cl12(N3)6]4- ions are linked via Rb-N and Rb-Cl interactions of the Rb+ ions to form a three-dimensional structure. Crystals of the compounds react explosively on heating or mechanical pressure.

AbstractSingle crystals of Sc2Pt9Si3 have been obtained from an arc-melted and inductively annealed sample of the starting composition Sc:4Pt:2Si. The Sc2Pt9Si3 structure (Tb2Pt9Ge3 type, space group C2/c) was refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data: a=1303.4(1), b=749.9(1), c=973.5(1), β=116.44(1)°, wR2=0.0731, 1643 F2 values and 67 variables. The structure contains three basic coordination polyhedra Sc@Pt11, Si1@Pt8 and Si2@Pt8 which show a simple condensation pattern avoiding direct Sc–Si and Si–Si bonding.

Zircon Type

The zircon-type structure of calcium chromate( VI), CaCrO4, has been confirmed and refined from single-crystal X-ray data. The compound crystallizes tetragonaly, space group I41/amd, with a = 7.222(2), c = 6.285(1) Å, c/a = 0.8703 and Z = 4. The structure comprises isolated, slightly distorted CrO4 tetrahedra ( C r-O = 1.646(3) Å ) which are connected with CaO8 dodecahedra (<Ca-O> = 2.556 Å) by edge- and corner-sharing. The three-dimensional framework thus created contains rather large holes which are, however, empty in the case of CaCrO4

First Time

The ternary indides ScPtln, TbPtln, and HoPtln were synthesized by reaction of the elements in an arc-melting furnace and subsequent annealing for four weeks. ScPtln and HoPtln are reported here for the first time. The three indides crystallize with the hexagonal ZrNiAl structure, a ternary ordered version of the Fe2P type, space group P6̄2m. Single crystal X-ray data yielded a = 754.6(1), c = 348.31(8) pm, wR2 = 0.0390, 177 F2 values for ScPtln, a = 759.3(1), c = 387.6(1) pm, wR2 = 0.0576, 183 F2 values for TbPtln, and a = 758.13(1), c = 381.62(1) pm, wR2 = 0.0530, 239 F2 values for HoPtln with 14 variable parameters for each refinement. Striking structural motifs of these intermetallics are short Pt-In distances (270 - 286 pm) within the three-dimensional [Ptln] polyanions which are composed of Pt(2)In6 trigonal prisms and trigonal planar P t(l)In3 units. The platinum-indium substructure of ScPtln is discussed in comparison with the various platinum-indium networks in the structures of Ptln2, Pt3In7, SrPtln, Sr2Pt3ln4, SrPtIn2, LaPtIn3, and PtIn7Fi3.
