摘要
The indides Ce7Ni5 +/- Ge-x(3) (+/-) In-x(6) and Pr7Ni5 Ge-+/- x(3) (+/-) In-x(6) were synthesized from the elements by arcmelting of the components. Single crystals were grown via special annealing sequences. Both structures were solved from X-ray single crystal diffraction data: new structure type, P6/m. Z=1, a=11.385(2). c=4.212(1) angstrom, wR(2)=0.0640, 634F(2) values, 25 variables for Ce7Ni4.73Ge3.27In6 and a=11.355(6), c=4.183(2) angstrom, wR(2)=0.0539. 563F(2) values, 25 variables for Pr7Ni4.73Ge3.27In6. Both indides show homogeneity ranges through Ni/Ge mixing (M sites). This new structure type can be derived from the AlB2 structure type by a substitution of the Al and B atoms by CeM12 and NiIn6Ce3 polyhedra (tricapped trigonal prism). Magnetic susceptibility measurements on a polycrystalline sample of Ce7Ni5Ge3In6 indicated Curie-Weiss like paramagnetic behavior down to 1.71 K with the effective magnetic moment slightly reduced in relation to the value expected for trivalent cerium ions. No magnetic ordering is evident. (c) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
