Lu5Pd4Ge8 and Lu3Pd4Ge4: Two More Germanides among Polar Intermetallics [PDF]
In this study, two novel Lu5Pd4Ge8 and Lu3Pd4Ge4 polar intermetallics were prepared by direct synthesis of pure constituents. Their crystal structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis: Lu5Pd4Ge8 is monoclinic, P21/m, mP34, a = 5.7406(3), b = 13.7087(7), c = 8.3423(4) Å, β = 107.8(1), Z = 2; Lu3Pd4Ge4 is orthorhombic, Immm ...

Bonding Schemes for Polar Intermetallics through Molecular Orbital Models: Ca-Supported Pt–Pt Bonds in Ca10Pt7Si3 [PDF]
Exploratory synthesis in the area of polar intermetallics has yielded a rich variety of structures that offer clues into the transition in bonding between Zintl and Hume-Rothery phases. In this article, we present a bonding analysis of one such compound,

Polar Layered Intermetallic LaCo2P2 as a Water Oxidation Electrocatalyst
We investigate LaCo2P2 as an electrocatalytic material for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under alkaline and acidic conditions. This layered intermetallic material was prepared via Sn-flux high-temperature annealing. The electrocatalytic ink, prepared with the ball-milled LaCo2P2 catalyst at the mass loading of 0.25 mg/cm2, shows OER activity at pH ...

Metal Anions in Metal‐Rich Compounds and Polar Intermetallics [PDF]
AbstractWe briefly surveyed metal‐rich and intermetallic compounds containing metal anions that have been characterized by density functional calculations. Transition metal anions come with electron configurations (n+1)s2nd10(n+1)p0, (n+1)s2nd10(n+1)p1, and (n+1)s2nd10(n+1)p2. Their nd orbitals act asreservoirs for holding ten electrons.
