Neue ternäre Phosphide und Arsenide des Caesiums mit Elementen der 8. Nebengruppe

New Ternary Phosphides and Arsenides of Cesium and Element of the 8th Transition Metal Group In the ternary systems Cesium/8^th transition metal group/5^th main group some new compounds were found and investigated. By single crystal measurements CsRh₂P₂ was found to crystallize in the space group 14/mmm with the lattice constants a = 390.11 pm and c = 1429.36 pm. The new compounds with the formula CsM₂X₂ (M = Fe, Co, Ru, Rh, Ir; X = P or As) crystallize in the ThCr₂Si₂-type structure, compounds of the formula Cs₂MX₂ (M = Ni, Pd, Pt; X = P or As) can be placed in a line with the K₂PdP₂-type structure.
