Abstract
INVESTIGATORS of metallic systems by thermal and X-ray methods have found many binary intermetallic compounds ; they have found, however, only a few ternary and no quaternary compounds. If a metal or metals of one class (zinc, tin, cadmium, mercury) reacts in mercury at ordinary temperature with one of another (copper, iron, cobalt, nickel, manganese), many binary and ternary compounds result1.
