Abstract
The quaternary indides LaTIn3Mg (T = Rh and Ir) and CeIrIn3Mg were prepared from the elements in sealed tantalum ampoules in an induction furnace. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder and single crystal data: LaCoAl4 type, Pmma, Z = 2, a = 830.5(1), b = 436.1(1), c = 745.1(1) pm, wR2 = 0.038, 467 F 2 values for LaRhIn3.075Mg0.925, a = 832.9(1), b = 436.5(1), c = 746.9(1) pm, wR2 = 0.077, 471 F 2 values for LaIrIn3.091Mg0.909, and a = 832.2(1), b = 434.1(1), c = 743.9(1) pm, wR2 = 0.066, 465 F 2 values for CeIrIn3.07Mg0.93 with 25 variables for each refinement. The transition metal, indium, and magnesium atoms build up three-dimensional [TIn3Mg] networks which leave pentagonal prismatic voids for the lanthanum and cerium atoms. The transition metal atoms have tricapped trigonal prismatic coordination and the magnesium atoms fill distorted square prisms. All three crystals revealed a small degree of Mg/In mixing on the latter site.
