Abstract
Eu3Pt4Zn12 and Sr3Pt4Zn12 form a complete solid solution Eu3−x
Sr
x
Pt4Zn12. Samples with x = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 were synthesized from the elements in sealed tantalum ampoules in an induction furnace. All samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and the structures of Sr3Pt3.93Zn12.07, Eu1.80Sr1.20Pt4Zn12 and Eu3Pt3.68Zn12.32 were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. The new compounds are isotypic with Gd3Ru4Al12, space group P63/mmc. The striking building units in these phases are the kagome networks occupied by the europium and strontium atoms and Pt1@Zn8 and Pt2@Zn8 distorted cubes. Besides the Eu/Sr mixing within the solid solution, the structure refinements indicated small homogeneity ranges induced by Pt/Zn mixing. The europium containing samples of the solid solution Eu3−x

Pt4Zn12 are Curie–Weiss paramagnets and the experimental magnetic moments manifest stable divalent europium. The samples with x = 0, 0.5 and 2 order magnetically: T
N = 15.4(1) K for x = 0, T
C = 12.4(1) K for x = 0.5 and T
N = 4.0(1) K for x = 2. The 3 K magnetization isotherms tend toward Brillouin type behavior with increasing europium dilution. The divalent ground state of Eu3Pt4Zn12 is further confirmed by 151Eu Mössbauer spectroscopy with an isomer shift of −9.66(2) mm s−1 at 78 K. In the magnetically ordered state Eu3Pt4Zn12 shows full magnetic hyperfine field splitting (23.0(1) T).
