Abstract

The stannides Sr3Rh4Sn4 and Sr2.43Eu0.57Ir4Sn4 (Na3Pt4Ge4-type, space group I 4 ‾ 3m) were synthesized by induction-melting of the elements in sealed tantalum tubes followed by an annealing sequence to increase the crystallinity. Their polycrystalline samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and the structures were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. The basic building units are [Rh4Sn4] respectively [Ir4Sn4] stellae quadrangulae which condense to rigid three-dimensional networks. A striking crystal chemical feature of the Na3Pt4Ge4-type phases are pronounced anisotropic displacements of the divalent cations. Additional structure refinements of Sr3Rh4Sn4 and Sr2.43Eu0.57Ir4Sn4 and the previously reported stannide Sr3Ir4Sn4 at 90 K reveal less anisotropic behavior in going to lower temperatures.

Keywords: Na3Pt4Ge4 type; intermetallics; low-temperature structures
