Description

Sc5Re8Si12, Mr=2051.4, orthorhombic, oS100, Amm2, a=14.475(4), b=19.66(1), c=5.237(2) A, V=1490(1) A3, Z=4, Dx=9.14 g cm-3, λ(Mo Kα)=0.7107 A, μ=713 cm-1, F(000)=3492, T=293 K, wR=0.062 for 2269 contributing reflections. The nearly face-centered structure is characterized by infinite parallel columns of face-joined Si-centered square antiprisms and infinite parallel columns of face-joined Re-centered deformed octahedra arranged in two structural slabs similar to those found in Hf2Ru3Si4 and Sc3Re3Si4. With respect of Hf2Ru3Si4 or Sc3Re2Si4 these two slabs are shifted in such a way that one is now the mirror image of the other; furthermore they are separated by additional atoms arranged in a plane and with composition ScRe2Si4. The Sc5Re8Si12 structure is a correction of the previously published model of ScRe2Si3 in which four Sc atoms are missing in the unit cell. (orig.)
