Abstract
A number of new isostructural ternary intermetallic compounds of the composition R4Ru2Ga3 (R = Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) were found in ternary R–Ru–Ga systems. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of Nd4Ru2Ga3 showed that this compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system and it is a representative of a new structure type (a = 10 Å, b = 4.0533(11) Å, c = 9.720(3) Å, β = 111.080(7)°, space group С2, Z = 2, R1 = 0.043, wR2 = 0.077 for 1518 reflections). The specific structural feature of this compound is the presence of distorted RuNd6 (AlB2 type) and GaNd8 (CsCl type) units. The shortest Nd–Ru distance in the polyhedron is 2.8463(16) Å, which is significantly smaller than the sum of the corresponding atomic radii. The unit cell parameters and volumes in the R4Ru2Ga3 series (R = Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) decrease in accordance with lanthanide compression, while their melting points increase.
