Thorium disilicide
Thorium disilicide is a binary inorganic chemical compound of thorium and silicon. The compound was first described in detail in 1942 by Georg Brauer and A. Mitius. In addition to this compound, other thorium silicides are known: trithorium disilicide, thorium monosilicide, trithorium pentasilicide, and Th6Si11.
Thorium disilicide was obtained in 1905 by reacting thorium dioxide with silicon in an electric arc and in 1907 by Otto Hönigschmid from the elements at 1000 °C in the presence of aluminum as a solvent.
Thorium disilicide is a black solid. It has a hexagonal crystal structure with the space group P6/mmm (space group no. 191) of the aluminium diboride type. There is also a high-temperature form that forms from the low-temperature form above 1300 °C. This has a tetragonal crystal structure with the space group I41/amd (space group no. 141).
