Abstract
Abstract The silicide Eu2Ru3Si5 was synthesized from the elements in a sealed tantalum tube in a high-frequency furnace, while the gallide Eu2Ir3Ga5 was obtained by arc-melting. Both structures were refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: P4/mnc, a = 1072.69(8), c = 569.55(5) pm, wR = 0.0453, 617 F 2 values, 31 variables for Eu2Ru3Si5 and a = 1122.18(7), c = 583.17(4) pm, wR = 0.0546, 729 F 2 values, 31 variables for Eu2Ir3Ga4.95(1). The gallide shows small defects on one 8h site. The transition metal atoms in Eu2Ru3Si5 and Eu2Ir3Ga5 have octahedral p element coordination. These Ru@Si6 respectively Ir@Ga6 polyhedra are condensed to three-dimensional [Ru3Si5]6− respectively [Ir3Ga5]4− polyanionic networks. The ground states of Eu(III) in Eu2Ru3Si5 and Eu(II) in Eu2Ir3Ga5 were determined by 151Eu Mössbauer spectroscopy.
