Abstract

New intermetallic compounds EuAgCd and YbAgCd were synthesized in quantitative yield by reaction of the elements in sealed tantalum tubes in a high-frequency furnace. Both com­ pounds were investigated by X-ray diffraction on powders and single crystals: KHg2 type, Imma, a = 490.41(8), b = 771.0(1), c = 834.4(2) pm, wR2 = 0.0624, 255 F2 values, 12 variables for EuAgCd, and MgZn2 type, Pb3/mmc, a = 584.66(5), c = 946.83(9) pm, wR2 = 0.0502, 187 F2 values, 11 variables for YbAgCd. Owing to the very small difference in scattering power, no long range ordering of the silver and cadmium atoms is evident from the X-ray data, although Ag-Cd ordering is expected. The silver and cadmium atoms randomly occupy the mercury and zinc positions of the KHg2 and MgZn2 type structures, respectively. In EuAgCd the [AgCd] substructure consists of strongly puckered, orthorhombically distorted Ag3 Cd3 hexagons, while a three-dimensional network of face-and comer-sharing tetrahedra is observed in YbAgCd. The rare earth atoms fill the space between the Ag3 Cd3 hexagons (EuAgCd) or within the three-dimensional tetrahedral network (YbAgCd). Magnetic susceptibility measurements in­ dicate Pauli paramagnetism for YbAgCd and Curie-Weiss behavior above 60 K for EuAgCd with an experimental magnetic moment of 7.82(3) μB/Eu indicating divalent ytterbium and europium. Ferromagnetic ordering at Tc = 28.0(5) K is observed for EuAgCd. At 2 K and 5 T the saturation magnetization is 5.85(5) μB/Eu.
