Abstract

Crystal structure of high-temperature modification of Pd73Sn14Te13 has been refined by the Rietveld method from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. Refined crystallographic data of Pd73Sn14Te13 are a=7.6456(3) Å, c=13.9575(9) Å, V=706.75(6) Å3, space group P63cm (No. 185), Z=6, and Dx=10.71 g/cm3. The title compound is isostructural with Pd5Sb2 and Ni5As2; it can be considered as a stacking and filling variant of the Ni2In structure. An important structural feature in the high-temperature modification of Pd73Sn14Te13 is the presence of various Pd-Pd bonds.
