S. Bobev, D. J. Mixson, E. D. Bauer and J. L. Sarrao

Abstract: Single crystals of uranium palladium diantimonide, UPd_0.603 (6)Sb₂, were grown from an Sb flux. The title compound crystallizes in space group P4/nmm, adopting the ZrCuSi₂ structure type, but with a partial occupancy of the Pd site. All atoms are located on special positions with site symmetries m2 for Pd and one Sb atom, and 4mm for U and the other Sb atom.
