C. Perrier et al., PREPARATION AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF A NEW FAMILY OF TRANSITION-METALPHOSPHO-SILICIDES, Materials research bulletin, 30(3), 1995, pp. 357-364
Single crystals of new high phosphorus-silicon content compounds of tr
ansition metal FeSi4P4, RuSi4P4 and OsSi4P4 have been obtained from ti
n flux. Powders of the same composition have been prepared by reaction
of the elemental components in evacuated silica tubes. These compound
s are isomorphic. Crystal structure of FeSi4P4 and RuSi4P4 have been d
etermined from four-circle diffractometer data of single crystals.
