Abstract

The intermetallic scandium compounds Sc_1.024Ir₂In_0.976 and Sc₃Ir_1.467In₄ were synthesized by reactions of the elements in sealed tantalum ampoules at high temperature followed by annealing for crystal growth. Both structures were refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: MnCu₂Al type, Fm3‾m, a = 639.97(19) pm, wR2 = 0.0376, 41 F² values, seven variables for Sc_1.024Ir₂In_0.976 and P6‾, a = 769.99(5), c = 684.71(4) pm, wR2 = 0.0371, 967 F² values, 33 variables for Sc₃Ir_1.467In₄. Sc_1.024Ir₂In_0.976 is a new Heusler phase with a small homogeneity range due to Sc/In and In/Sc mixing. The structure of Sc₃Ir_1.467In₄ is closely related to that of Sc₃Rh_1.594In₄ and belongs to the large family of ZrNiAl superstructures. The striking structural motif is the ordered stacking of empty In₆ and filled Ir@In₆ prisms with Ir–In distances of 269 pm.

Keywords: Heusler phase; indides; intermetallics; scandium; superstructure
