摘要
The electronic structures and chemical bonding of selected ternary compounds of the A(4)T(7)X(6) family (of U4Re7Si6-type) intermetallics have been studied by ab initio methods. The calculations for two series: Mg4Rh7P6, Sc4Co7Ge6, Ti4Co7Ge6 and uranium containing U4Re7Si6, th(4)Ru(7)Ge(6), and U4Ru7As6 show common bonding characteristics pertaining to main T1-X and T2-X interactions (T = transition metal and X = p-element) due to the peculiar crystal chemistry with T1@X-6 and T2@X-4 coordination polyhedra. The uranium compounds are found to be stabilized in a spin polarized ferromagnetic configuration, especially for U4Ru7Ge6 (in agreement with experiment) and U4Ru7As6. (C) 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS.
