Abstract

Abstract The indide YIrIn was synthesized from the elements in a sealed tantalum ampoule in a high-frequency furnace. YIrIn adopts the ZrNiAl type. The crystal structure was refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: P6–2m, a = 750.63(6), c = 392.04(3) pm, wR = 0.0346, 308 F 2 values and 16 variables. Refinement of the occupancy parameters revealed a small degree of Ir/In mixing (0.912(9) Ir2/0.088(9) In1) on the 2d site. The YIrIn structure contains two crystallographically independent iridium sites, both with tri-capped trigonal prismatic coordination: Ir1@In6Y3 and Ir2@In3Y6.
