Abstract

Using computer methods (ToposPro software package), a geometric and topological analysis of the crystal structure of the intermetallic Ce80Pd128In284-cF492 (a = 21.838 Å, V = 10414.79 Å3, space group F-43m) is carried out. Two new nanocluster precursors with symmetry -43m are found: a two-layer nanocluster K61 composition In@16(Ce4In12)@44(Ce4In12Pd28) with an inner centered Friauf polyhedron In@16(Ce4In12) and with 44 atoms in the outer shell, and a two-layer nanocluster K42 of the composition 0@8(In8)@34(Ce6Pd4In24) with an inner polyhedron In8 and with 34 atoms in the outer shell. The symmetry and topological code of the processes of self-assembly of 3D structures from nanoclusters-precursors K61 and K42 is reconstructed in the following form: primary chain → microlayer → microframework. In4-tetrahedra with symmetry ‑43m, as well as spacer atoms Ce and In, are installed as spacers occupying voids in a 3D framework of nanoclusters K-61 and K-42.
