Crystal Structures of the PdBi Polymorphic Modifications from In Situ High-Temperature Single-Crystal X-ray Diffraction Data
摘要
Abstract
The transformation of the PdBi compound at high temperatures has been studied using in situ high-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction. New data on the crystal structure of the high-temperature PdBi modification have been obtained. The PdBi structure at T = 293, 373, 423, and 473 K is orthorhombic (sp. gr. Cmc21) with the lattice parameters a = 8.7160(3) Å, b = 7.2031(3) Å, c = 10.6631(4) Å, V = 669.45(4) Å3, and Z = 16 (293 K). Upon further heating, a phase transition to the high-temperature modification occurs. The PdBi structure at T = 523 and 573 K has been solved in the orthorhombic sp. gr. Cmcm, a = 3.6162(3) Å, b = 10.6446(8) Å, c = 4.4208(4) Å, V = 170.17(3) Å3, and Z = 4 (523 K).
