摘要
The ternary rare-earth zinc arsenides REZn2As3 (RE=La-Pr) have been prepared by reactions of the elements at 800 degrees C. They adopt new tetragonal structure types, with the La member (space group I4/mmm, Z=4, a=4.1133(2) angstrom, c=32.1246(14) angstrom) differing from the Ce and Pr members (space group P4/nmm, Z=2, a=4.0804(6)-4.0534(12) angstrom, c=16.089(5)-16.059(10) angstrom, respectively) in the disposition of RE-centred square antiprisms on opposite sides of square As nets. The structures contain thick anionic slabs, built from edge-sharing ZnAs4 tetrahedra, that can be considered either as stackings of three PbO-type layers or as fragments of the fluorite-type structure. These slabs are deficient in Zn and are reminiscent of the same features in binary arsenide Zn3As2. LaZn2As3 exhibits temperature-independent paramagnetism whereas CeZn2As3 follows modified Curie-Weiss behavior consistent with Ce3+ species but with no occurrence of long-range ordering.
