Abstract: | The new ternary phosphides ScFe5P3 (I), Sc(Ta0.18Fe0.82)Fe4P3 (II), ZrFe5P3 (III), ScRu6P4 (IV), ErRu6P4 (V), ZrCr6P4 (VI), Nd2Ru12P7 (VII), and U2Mo30P19 (VIII) are prepared from mixtures of the elements in most cases with elemental Sn as a flux (alumina crucibles, 650—950 °C, 7—10 d). |
