Description:
Single crystals of the title compound, samarium aluminium germanium, were synthesized from the corresponding elements using molten Al metal as a solvent. The structure is isotypic with GdAl2.90Ge0.10, crystallizing in the hexagonal Ni3Sn structure type (space group P63/mmc), with two atoms in the asymmetric unit, namely Sm on Wyckoff site 2c and a statistical mixture of Al and Ge on Wyckoff site 6h. Structure refinement from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data result in the stoichiometry SmAl2.64 (4)Ge0.36 (4).
