Abstract: | Structures with AlB2- and CeMg2Si2-Type Units. The Compounds Eu3Pd4As4, Ca4Pd5P5, and Ca5Pd6P6 The new compounds Eu3Pd4As4, Ca4Pd5P5, and Ca5Pd6P6 (space groups and lattice constants see ?Inhaltsübersicht”?) have been prepared by heating mixtures of the elements. Their structures were determined by means of single-crystal X-ray methods and contain exclusively units, which are characteristic for the AlB2- and CeMg2Si2-type. The non-metal atoms are isolated from each other or connected to pairs; the ratio between these two kinds can be interpreted by ionic splittings of the formulas. |
