D. Johrendt et al., NEW COMPOUNDS WITH CENISI2-TYPE STRUCTURE, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 51(8), 1996, pp. 1213-1214
The compounds BaPdAs2 (a = 4.678(1), b = 17.330(2), c = 4.574(1) Angst
rom, BaPdSb2 (a = 4.877(1), b = 18.583(2), c = 4.889(1) Angstrom) and
BaPtAs2 (a = 4.660(1), b = 17.119(2), c = 4.608(1) Angstrom) were prep
ared by heating mixtures of the elements and investigated by X-ray met
hods. They are isotypic and crystallize in the CeNiSi2-type structure
(Cmcm), also called the BaCuSn2-type.
