Iodine-catalyzed production of noble metal-rich intermetallics: The crystal structures of BePd2 and BePd3 [German]

摘要

The two Pd-richest phases of the Be-Pd system are accessible 400degrees C below the eutectic temperature within 48 h through an iodine-catalyzed reaction of the metals. The crystal structures of BePd2 and BePd3 have been determined by means of X-ray powder diffractometry. BePd3 is isotypic to BRe3. BePd2 adopts a MoSi2 type related structure. [References: 28]
