Structure and Properties of GdAuSn and the GdAuSn/MnAuSn System

The crystal structure of GdAuSn was refined by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction. Band structure calculations based on the structural data confirmed the antiferromagnetic ground state and the metallic behaviour of GdAuSn. 119mSn, 155Gd and 197Au Mossbauer spectroscopic studies were used to verify the values of the hyperfine parameters that were given by the band structure calculations. Band structure calculations of MnAuSn confirmed that this half-Heusler compound belongs to the family of half-metallic ferromagnets. Magnetic susceptibility, conductivity and Mossbauer studies were used to characterize granular material based on the half-Heusler ferromagnet MnAuSn in the antiferromagn…

Heterocyclic systems containing antimony (III) -VIII . Hypervalency by intramolecular 1,5-chelation Sb · · · N in rings RSb [ (CH2) 3] 2NR′ (NR′ = NMe, NBz, NBui) and comparison to analogous compounds of AsIII, BiIII, GeIV and SnIV

Abstract Eleven antimony compounds RSb [ (CH2) 3] 2 NR′ and eight germanium compounds R2Ge [ (CH2) 3] 2 NR′ (some combinations of R = Cl, I, NCS, OSiPh3, Ph, and NR′ = NMe, NBz, NBui) have been synthesized by diGrignard reactions and subsequent treatment with AgSCN, Ph3SiONa or PhLi. The compounds were compared to 14 Sn, 1 As, 5 Sb and 4 Bi analogues taken from the literature. Evidence is provided for 1,5-chelation Sb · · · N via crystal structure determinations (5+1 (lit) Sb compounds) , 13C- and 29Si-NMR chemical shifts, 12;Sb and 12;I Mossbauer data (11 and 3 Sb compounds, respectively) , cyclic voltammetry (9 Sb compounds) and semi-empirical MO calculations on the Extended Huckel level …
