A rare-earth-containing compound, ytterbium aluminium antimonide, Yb3AlSb3 (Ca3AlAs3-type structure), has been successfully synthesized within the Yb–Al–Sb system through flux methods. According to the Zintl formalism, this structure is nominally made up of (Yb2+)3[(Al1−)(1b – Sb2−)2(2b – Sb1−)], where 1b and 2b indicate 1-bonded and 2-bonded, respectively, and Al is treated as part of the covalent anionic network. The crystal structure features infinite corner-sharing AlSb4 tetrahedra, [AlSb2Sb2/2]6−, with Yb2+ cations residing between the tetrahedra to provide charge balance. Herein, the synthetic conditions, the crystal structure determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, and electronic structure calculations are reported.

This article is dedicated to the estimation of the relative stability for B2, B19`, B33 and Cm phase in ZrCu-ZrNi-ZrCo intermetallic compound row through the ab-initio electronic structure calculations and subsequent crystal structure Rietveld refinement. The information about electronic and crystal structure of phases in Zr-based intermetallics will allow selecting for this high temperature shape memory alloy such alloying elements that will significantly improve shape memory behavior through definite structural changes.

The new quaternary aluminide Li20Mg6Cu13Al42 was synthesized from the elements in a sealed tantalum crucible. The crystal structure was studied by single crystal and confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction. Li20Mg6Cu13Al42 {cI162, Im{\overline 3}, a = 13.8451 (2), R[F 2 > 2σ(F 2)] = 0.023} crystallizes as an ordered version of Mg32(Al,Zn)49 and Li—Cu—X (X = Al, Ga, Si) periodic crystals containing icosahedral clusters. The Li20Mg6Cu13Al42 structure can also be described as three-shell icosahedral clusters of [CuAl12@Li20Cu12@Al60], enclosed inside a distorted triacontahedron. The electronic structure calculations were performed by means of the TB-LMTO-ASA program and confirm the core–shell packing of these clusters. The isostructural compound of Li20Mg6Cu13Ga42 was found in a Li–Mg–Cu–Ga quaternary system.

Li–B–C alloys have attracted much interest because of their potential use in lithium-ion batteries and superconducting materials. The formation of the new compound LiBC3 [lithium boron tricarbide; own structure type, space group P\overline{6}m2, a = 2.5408 (3) Å and c = 7.5989 (9) Å] has been revealed and belongs to the graphite-like structure family. The crystal structure of LiBC3 presents hexagonal graphene carbon networks, lithium layers and heterographene B/C networks, alternating sequentially along the c axis. According to electronic structure calculations using the tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital-atomic spheres approximations (TB–LMTO–ASA) method, strong covalent B—C and C—C interactions are established. The coordination polyhedra for the B and C atoms are trigonal prisms and for the Li atoms are hexagonal prisms.

A novel quaternary mixed halogenide, Tl5Hg2Br5I4, was synthesized by fusion of thallium bromide and mercury iodide in a 5:2 molar ratio. The crystal structure of Tl5Hg2Br5I4represents a new series of composite structures described by the general formulanTlBr*mTl2[HgBr2I2]; in this case,n= 4 andm= 8. Electronic structure calculations indicate that the title compound is a semiconductor.
