The new variant of the energy partitioning scheme introduced in part I of this paper is applied to discuss the relative stabilities of the cubic L12 structure and the tetragonal D022 structure of TiAl3 and ScAl3 and the stabilization of the L12 structure of TiAl3 by alloying with divalent transition metal atoms. Furthermore, a striking difference between the covalent bonding energies of TiAl3 and ScAl3 on the one hand and Ni3Al on the other hand is found.
