Abstract:The new condensed double-chain cluster complex compound {Ir 2 Gd 5 }Br 5 was obtained from a reaction of GdBr 3 with metallic gadolinium and iridium at elevated temperatures. The thin black needles crystallize with the orthorhombic crystal system, space group Pnma (no. 62); a = 1255.4(1) pm, b = 414.05(3) pm, c = 2633.8(3) pm, Z = 4, R 1 /wR 2 = 0.0504/0.0346 for all data. Monocapped trigonal prisms
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
