Sažetak

Based on combined X-ray analyses and thermal investigations, the intermetallic compound NaHg is shown to exist in three different modifications (a-, (1- and y-NaHg). The already known low temperature modification a-NaHg is an orthorhombically distorted variant of the CsCl (B2) structure. At 165 °C, a-NaHg transforms in a reconstructive first order transition of (1-NaHg, a slightly rhombo- hedrally distorted variant of the NaTl (B32) type (a = 5.071(8), c = 12.668(31) A, space group R3m). In a subsequent displacive first order transition at 176 °C, y-NaHg, crystallizing in the undistorted cubic NaTl (B32) type (a = 7.253, Å, space group: Fd3m), is formed. To our knowledge, this is the first observation of a temperature driven B2/B32 phase transition.
