The ternary antimonides RE4T7Sb6 (RE=Gd-Lu; T =Ru, Rh) have been synthesized from the elements by arc-melting and subsequent annealing in an induction furnace. The samples have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. Four structures were refined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: U4Re7Si6 type, space group Im3m with a=862.9(2) pm, wR2=0.0296, 163 F2 values for Er4Ru7Sb6; a=864.1(1) pm, wR2=0.1423, 153 F2 values for Yb4Ru7Sb6; a=872.0(2) pm, wR2=0.0427, 172 F2 values for Tb4Rh7Sb6; and a=868.0(2) pm, wR2=0.0529, 154 F2 values for Er4Rh7Sb6, with 10 variables per refinement. The structures have T1@Sb6 octahedra and slightly distorted RE@T26Sb6 cuboctahedra as building units. The distorted cuboctahedra are condensed via all trapezoidal faces, and this network leaves octahedral voids for the T1 atoms. The ruthenium-based series of compounds was studied by temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements. Lu4Ru7Sb6 is Pauli-paramagnetic. The antimonides RE4Ru7Sb6 with RE=Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm show Curie-Weiss paramagnetism. Antiferromagnetic ordering occurs at 10.0(5), 5.1(5) and 4.0(5) K for Dy4Ru7Sb6, Ho4Ru7Sb6 and Er4Ru7Sb6, respectively, while Tm4Ru7Sb6 remains paramagnetic. Yb4Ru7Sb6 is an intermediate-valent compound with a reduced magnetic moment of 3.71(1) μB per Yb as compared to 4.54 μB for a free Yb3+ ion

AbstractThe new thallide EuPdTl2, synthesized from the elements in a sealed tantalum tube in a highfrequency furnace, was investigated by X-ray diffraction on powders and single crystals: MgCuAl2 type, Cmcm, Z = 4, a = 446.6(1), b = 1076.7(2), c = 812.0(2) pm, wR2 = 0.0632, 336 F2 values, 16 variables. The structure can be considered as an orthorhombically distorted, palladium-filled variant of the binary Zintl phase EuTl2. The palladium and thallium atoms build up a three-dimensional [PdTl2] polyanion with significant Pd-Tl (286 - 287 pm) and Tl-Tl (323 - 329 pm) interactions. The europium atoms fill distorted hexagonal channels of the [PdTl2] polyanion. Susceptibility measurements show a magnetic moment of 7.46(5) μB/Eu atom, indicative of divalent europium. EuPdTl2 is a soft ferromagnet with a Curie temperature of TC = 12.5(5) K.

The high-pressure (HP) modification of CePtSn was prepared under multianvil high-pressure (9.2 GPa) high-temperature (1325 K) conditions from the normal-pressure (NP) modification. Both modifications were investigated by powder and single crystal X-ray data: TiNiSi type, Pnma, a = 746.89(9), b = 462.88(4), c = 801.93(7) pm, wR2 = 0.0487, 452 F2 values, 20 variable parameters for NP-CePtSn, and ZrNiAl type, P6̅2m, a = 756.919(5), c = 415.166(4) pm, wR2 = 0.0546, 252 F2 values, 14 variable parameters for HP-CePtSn. Both modifications are built up from platinumcentered trigonal prisms. Together, the platinum and tin atoms form different three-dimensional [PtSn] networks in which the cerium atoms fill channels. The crystal chemistry and chemical bonding of NP- and HP-CePtSn is discussed. Susceptibility measurements of HP-CePtSn indicate Curie-Weiss behavior above 40 K with an experimental magnetic moment of 2.55(1) μB/Ce atom, indicating trivalent cerium. No magnetic ordering could be detected down to 2 K.

The platinum-rich intermetallic compounds GdPt2In and GdPt2Sn were synthesized by arc-melting of the elements and subsequent annealing. The structures were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data: ZrPt2Al type, space group P63/mmc, a = 455.1(1), c = 899.3(3) pm, wR2 = 0.0361, 166 F2 values, 9 variables for GdPt2In, and a = 453.2(1), c = 906.5(2) pm, wR2 = 0.0915, 166 F2 values, 9 variables for GdPt2Sn. The platinum and indium (tin) atoms build up threedimensional [Pt2In] and [Pt2Sn] networks with short Pt-In (Pt-Sn) distances and Pt2 dumb-bells (290 and 297 pm in GdPt2In and GdPt2Sn). The gadolinium atoms have coordination number 14 with 8 Pt and 6 In (Sn) neighbors. Magnetic susceptibility measurements on GdPt2In show Curie-Weiss behavior with an experimental magnetic moment of 8.06(2) μB/Gd atom. GdPt2In orders ferromagnetically at 27.7(2) K
