Structural variations in Gd₅Si_4-xSn_x: size vs. electronic effects

X-ray single crystal diffraction studies on the Gd₅Si_4xSn_x series with 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 revealed an increase in the interslab T—T (T = Si, Sn) dimer distances and transition from Gd₅Si₄-type structures for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.5 (d_T—T = 2.49–2.71 Å) to the Pu₅Rh₄-type structure for x = 2 (d_T—T = 3.04 Å)...
