Abstract:A new ternary phase with a composition Al 1+x V 2 Sn 2-x (x=0.19) has been found during the investigation of the Al-V-Sn ternary system. Single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements reveal that this ternary phase crystallizes with an orthorhombic structure with a = 5.5931(1) Å, b = 18.8017(5) Å and c = 6.7005(2) Å (Space group Cmce). This compound is thus isostructural to the GaV 2 Sn 2 structure type, showing a layered structure composed of vanadium clusters band formed with pentagonal faces intercalated by … Show more
