BaHg[sub2]TI[sub2] An Unusual Polar Intermetallic Phase with Strong Differentiation between the Neighboring Elements Mercury and Thallium.

High yields of the novel BaHg[sub2]TI[sub2] are achieved from reactions of the appropriate cast alloys at ∼400°C. (Isotypic SrHg[sub2]TI[sub2] also exists.) The tetragonal barium structure (P4[sub2]/mnm, a + 10.606 Å, c= 5.159 Å) was refined from both single crystal X-ray and neutron powder diffract...
