The phase relations in the Pd-rich region
(≥ 50 at.% Pd) of the ternary systems Al–Ga–Pd at
600°C and Ga–Sb–Pd at 500°C
have been investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction and EDX analysis. Four continuous substitutional solid solutions
were found in the Al–Ga–Pd system: Al1-xGaxPd (FeSi-type structure,
space group P213, Pearson
symbol cP8), (Al1-xGax)3Pd5 (Rh5Ge3-type
structure, space group Pbam,
Pearson symbol oP16), Al1-xGaxPd2 (Co2Si-type structure, space
group Pnma,
Pearson symbol oP12), (Al1-xGax)2Pd5
(Pd5Ga2-type structure, space group Pnma, Pearson symbol oP28). In the Pd-rich part of the Ga–Sb–Pd system, three new
ternary phases were revealed: Ga1-xSbxPd2 (Fe2P-type
structure, space group P‑62m, Pearson symbol hP9) and two tetragonal phases with approximate compositions close
to Ga0.5Sb0.5Pd3, one of which crystallizes
with Pt3Ga-type structure (space group P4/mbm, Pearson symbol tP16). The existence of the previously
reported phase Ga4.5Sb4.5Pd25 was confirmed.
The isothermal sections were constructed for the Pd-rich regions of both
systems. The catalytic properties of the sample Ga28.3Sb5Pd66.7
were investigated for semi-hydrogenation of acetylene.
