Structural Impact of Platinum on the Incommensurably Modulated γ-Brass Related Composite Structure Pd(15)Zn(54).

Summary, in English

The crystal structure of three incommensurately modulated γ-brass related composite structures in the Pd-Zn-Pt system has been solved from X-ray single crystal diffraction data using a 3 + 1-dimensional super space description. The compounds Pt(x)Pd(15-x)Zn(54) (x ≈ 6, 7, 10) crystallize in orthorhombic superspace group Fmmm(α00)0s0 (F = [(1/2, 1/2, 0, 0); (1/2, 0, 1/2, 0); (0, 1/2, 1/2, 0)] with the following fundamental cell dimensions: a = 4.265(1) Å, b = 9.132(1) Å, c = 12.928(2) Å, q ≈ 0.629a*; a = 4.284(1) Å, b = 9.151(2) Å, c = 12.948(4) Å, q ≈ 0.628a*; and a = 4.288(1) Å, b = 9.140(4) Å, c = 12.926(7) Å, q ≈ 0.627a*. Each structure is built by two sub-lattices-pentagonal antiprismatic columns parallel to [100] and a zigzag chain of Zn atoms running along the center of the column.
