AbstractPolycrystalline Sm4Ni11In20 was obtained by arc-melting of metal ingots. A subsequent high temperature treatment was used for single crystal growth. The Sm4Ni11In20 crystal structure (U4Ni11Ga20 type; C2/m, a = 22.5457(3) Å, b = 4.34929(5) Å, c = 16.5479(2) Å, β = 124.592(2)°, R1 = 0.0358, wR2 = 0.0934) was determined by single crystal synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction from 2014 independent reflections with I > 2σ(I). Sm4Ni11In20 extends the R 4Ni11In20 (R = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho) series of phases. The R 4Ni11In20 and RNi3In6 (LaNi3In6 type; R = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Eu) series have similar compositions. Their structures share similar fragments; in particular the rare earth atom coordination polyhedra are pentagonal prisms with additional atoms.

Cr3C2 was obtained from arc-melting of pellets made of carbon and chromium. The structure of Cr3C2 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (Pnma, Z = 4, a = 553.99(6), b = 283.27(4), c = 1149.4(1) pm, R1 = 0.019 and wR2 = 0.037 for all collected reflections). The crystal structure contains isolated carbon atoms which reside inside of trigonal prismatic voids of metal atoms. The compound exhibits temperature independent paramagnetism. The electronic structure of Cr3C2 has been investigated using extended Hückel calculations.

The crystal structure of the title compound containing a phosphorus analogue of EDTA as the ligand was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data and refined to R = 0.028 for 1 920 observed reflections. The crystals are monocyclic, space group P21/c,a = 8.6169(8), b = 16.0539(9), c = 8.2504(6)Å, β = 103.458(7)° and Z = 2. The structure is completely different from that of the nitrogen prototype, [CdEDTA]2-. It consists of double-stranded polymeric layers which are composed of metal coordination polyhedra linked by μ6-hexadentate ligands; the layers lie parallel to the bc plane and are joined along the a axis through hydrogen bonding donated by water molecules. Because of steric requirements of phosphorus, the coordination polyhedron around Cd is greatly distorted and can best be described as a 5 + 3 type. One P atom, two oxygen atoms from two monodentate carboxylate groups and two water molecules form an approximate trigonal bipyramid and further three more remote carboxylate oxygens complete the arrangement, resulting in an O7P distorted bicapped trigonal prism.

Sr_3(Ru_{0.336},Pt_{0.664})CuO_6 crystallizes as a monoclinic structure [space group R12/c; lattice parameters a = 9.595 (15), b = 9.595 (15), c = 11.193 (2) Å and \gamma = 120°]. The crystal structure is pseudotrigonal and the crystal investigated here by single-crystal X-ray diffraction was a multiple twin composed of six individuals. The twin laws are a combination of rhombohedral obverse/reverse twinning plus the threefold axis from the trigonal system. The crystal structure is related to the hexagonal perovskites. Each Pt/Ru atom is coordinated pseudo-octahedrally by O atoms, while the overall coordination polyhedra for Cu atoms can be regarded as a strongly distorted trigonal prism, where the Cu atom is clearly shifted from the center. Each [(Ru_{0.336},Pt_{0.664})O_6] octahedron is connected to two Cu—O polyhedra via a common edge, and thus chains are formed parallel to the crystallographic c axis. Sr^{2+} ions are incorporated between the chains and are coordinated by eight O atoms. All bond distances and angles are in good agreement with literature values. Electron-microscopy studies confirm the results from X-ray diffraction and all observed domain structures can be interpreted exactly with the established twin model. No indication of Pt/Ru ordering was found in either the X-ray or the electron-microscopy investigation.

AbstractTwo compounds in the Sc-Co-In system were obtained by arc-melting of the pure metals and their crystal structures have been determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The structure of Sc3Co1.64In4 (space group P6̅, а=7.6702(5), c=3.3595(2) Å, Z=1, R1=0.0160, wR2=0.0301) belongs to the Lu3Co2−xIn4 type structure, which is closely related to the ZrNiAl and Lu3CoGa5 types. The structure of Sc10Co9In20 (space group P4/nmm, а=12.8331(1), c=9.0226(1) Å, Z=2, R1=0.0203, wR2=0.0465) belongs to the Ho10Ni9In20 type, which is closely related to HfNiGa2.

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.
