Redetermination of iron dialuminide, FeAl(2).
The crystal structure of iron dialuminide [Corby & Black (1973). Acta Cryst. B29, 2669-2677] has been redetermined on a single crystal synthesized from the elements by arc melting. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with 19 atoms per unit cell, one Fe site being on an inversion centre. The crystal structure can be described as an inclusion-plus-deformation derivative of the orthorhombic YPd(2)Si structure type.
