Crystal structure and magnetic properties of Ce7Ni5±xGe3±xIn6 and Pr7Ni5±xGe3±xIn6

All‐Boron Planar B6 Ring in the Solid‐State Phase Ti7Rh4Ir2B8

“…The crystal structure of the title compound (a variant of the recently discovered Ce 7 Ni 5± x Ge 3± x In 6 structure type)14 was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and is composed of two alternating layers stacked along the c axis. The first layer at z =0 contains the Ti 7 wheels and isolated boron atoms whereas the second layer at z =1/2 is filled with M atoms (M=2/3 Rh+1/3 Ir) and the planar B 6 rings (see Figure 1).…”

Planarer B6‐Ring in der Festkörperverbindung Ti7Rh4Ir2B8

“…Die Kristallstruktur der hier beschriebenen Phase (einer Variante des kürzlich entdeckten Ce 7 Ni 5± x Ge 3± x In 6 ‐Strukturtyps)14 wurde mittels Einkristall‐Röntgendiffraktometrie aufgeklärt. Sie besteht aus zwei alternierenden Schichten entlang der kristallographischen c ‐Achse.…”

Electrochemical Co‐Deposition of Phosphonate‐Modified Carbon Nanotubes and Tantalum on Nitinol

“…Substitution on the indium position leads to a variety of new materials with complete indium/germanium ordering, a consequence of the distinctly different covalent radii3 of germanium (122 pm) and indium (150 pm). Typical examples are the quaternary compounds Yb 7 Co 4 InGe 12 ,4 Ce 7 Ni 5 Ge 3 In 6 ,5 Yb 3 AuGe 2 In 3 ,6 and the series RE 4 Mn 2 InGe 4 ( RE = La – Nd, Sm, Gd – Tm, Lu) 7. Meanwhile, germanium/indium ordering has also been observed for a variety of transition metal free compounds like Eu 1.65 Yb 3.35 In 3 Ge 6 ,8 the series of RE 11 Ge 8 In 2 ( RE = Gd – Tm)9 compounds with excellent magnetocaloric properties and RE 11 Ge 4 In 6 ( RE = Y, Gd – Er)10,11 which both can be considered as ordering variants of the Ho 11 Ge 10 type12 and the series RE 2 Ge 2 In13–16 with an ordered U 3 Si 2 variant 17…”
