Description

The formation of MPd3+x (M = Gd, Np) by the reaction of MN with Pd at 1323 K in Ar gas flow was observed. Cubic AuCu3-type GdPd3.3 (a = 0.4081 ± 0.0001 nm) and NpPd3 (a = 0.4081 ± 0.0001 nm) were identified, respectively. The product obtained from the reaction of NpN with Pd contained additional phases, including the hexagonal TiNi3-type NpPd3. Chlorination of the MPd3+x (M = Gd, Np) samples was accomplished by the solid-state reaction using cadmium chloride at 673 K in a dynamic vacuum. (author)
