Abstract:The structure of praseodymium aluminum germanide Pr 4 Al 3 Ge 3 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The refined composition is Pr 4 Al 3.117(3) Ge 2.883(3) , M r = 857.01(8), oS20, (63) Cmcm-c 5 , a = 4.161(1), b = 26.261(8), c = 4.373(1) Å, Z = 2, D x = 5.96 Mg m-3 , R = 0.012, wR = 0.015 for 304 independent reflections with F > 3σ(F). Four sites in Wyckoff position 4c are occupied by Pr(1), Pr(2), Al, and Ge, respectively, and a fifth position 4c by a statistical mixture of Al and Ge wit… Show more
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.
