The Ternary Compounds Pd13ln5.25Sb3.75 and Pdln1.26Sb0.74: Crystal Structure and Electronic Structure Calculations

“…In a recent single-crystal re"nement of the tetragonal PdSn -type structure by KuK nnen et al (7) agreement with the structure determination reported earlier for the same compound by Hellner (14) was stated. Our results of crystal structure re"nement of isotypic PdIn Sb are in excellent agreement with those of KuK nnen et al (7) but not those of Hellner (14), who reported a di!erent z-parameter at the 16d position.…”

“…These authors concluded that the structure was isotypic to tetragonal PdSn (14) by direct comparison of the intensities. However, intensity patterns given in (4) for Pd In Sb and in (14) for -PdSn both did not agree with the intensities calculated here, based on crystallographic information given in (14). Calculated intensities based on a recent single-crystal re"nement by KuK nnen et al (7) for -PdSn were in excellent agreement with our powder pattern of PdIn Sb .…”

Electronically Induced Phase Transitions in Ternary Transition Metal Distannide Systems

“…Figure a and b). Thus, the CoGe 2 structure might be considered as a hybrid between the fluorite and the CuAl 2 structure 6 (a) The CuAl 2 structure as composed from 3 2 434 nets stacked along the c direction.…”

Polymorphism of IrSn4

“…The complexity of these systems is partly due to temperature dimorphism, which is a frequent phenomenon among those compounds with a high Sn content (i.e., compounds containing at least 67 at% Sn). The temperature dimorphism of RhSn 2 and PdSn 2 was studied in detail by Hellner already some 50 years ago (2,3). More recently, dimorphism was observed for CoSn 3 (4) and quasibinary Co 1Àx Ni x Sn 2 (0:23oxo0:59) (5).…”
