Diytterbium(II) lithium indium(III) digermanide, Yb(2)LiInGe(2).

Abstract

The title compound, Yb(2)LiInGe(2), a new ordered quaternary inter-metallic phase, crystallizes with the ortho-rhom-bic Ca(2)LiInGe(2) type (Pearson code oP24). The crystal structure contains six crystallographically unique sites in the asymmetric unit, all in special positions with site symmetry .m.. The structure is complex and based on [InGe(4)] tetra-hedra, which share corners in two directions, forming layers parallel to (001). Yb atoms fill square-pyramidal (Yb1) and octa-hedral (Yb2) inter-stices between the [InGe(4/2)] layers, while the small Li(+) atoms fill tetra-hedral sites.

Experimental. Selected in the glove box, crystals were put in a Paratone N oil and cut to the desired dimensions. The chosen crystal was mounted on a tip of a glass fiber and quickly transferred onto the goniometer. The crystal was kept under a cold nitrogen stream to protect from the ambient air and moisture.Data collection is performed with four batch runs at φ = 0.00 ° (607 frames), at φ = 90.00 ° (607 frames), at φ = 180.00 ° (607 frames), and at φ = 270.00 (607 frames). Frame width = 0.30 ° in ω. Data are merged and treated with multi-scan absorption corrections.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F² against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F², conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F². The threshold expression of F² > σ(F²) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F² are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
