“…For these 1‐1‐2 representatives the gallides ( MT Ga 2 ; M =Ca, Sc, Y, Gd–Lu; T =Ni, Pd, Pt, Au), the indides ( MT In 2 ; M =Na, Ca–Ba, Y, La–Nd, Eu–Dy, Yb; T =Ru, Rh, Ir, Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Au and Eu 1− x Sr x PtIn 2 ), the thallides ( MT Tl 2 ; M =Sr, Eu; T =Pd, Pt), the silicide ScPt 2 Si, the stannides MT Sn 2 ( M =Ca, Eu, Yb; T =Rh, Ir, Pd) and the phosphide PdNi 2 P have been reported. For aluminum finally, the representatives MT Al 2 ( M =Sc, Y, La–Nd, Sm, Gd–Lu; T =Co, Ni, Cu, Pd, Pt) have been prepared. Here, we report on the synthesis, crystal and electronic structures, magnetism, 27 Al and 195 Pt MAS‐NMR, XPS and 151 Eu Mössbauer spectroscopic properties of the platinide series M PtAl 2 , with M being an alkaline earth metal or europium ( M =Ca, Sr, Ba, Eu).…”
