Abstract The title compounds have been synthesized by reaction of the elements in sealed tantalum crucibles in a muffle furnace using special annealing sequences. The crystal structures of YbNi2.31Al2.69 (R1 = 0.0100 for 212 F 2 values and 18 variables) and for ErNi2.23Al2.77 (R1 = 0.0154 for 255 F 2 values and 18 variables) were refined from single crystal X-ray data. They belong to the YNi2Al3 type (i3 superstructure of CaCu5) with the following crystallographic parameters: space group P 6 / m m m $P6/mmm$ , Pearson’s symbol hP18, Z = 3, a = 8.2723(12), c = 4.0672(8) Å, V = 241.03(8) Å3 for YbNi2.31Al2.69 and a = 8.9109(13), c = 4.0669(8) Å, V = 279.66(8) Å3 for ErNi2.23Al2.77. The crystal chemical discussion is supported by electronic structure calculations.

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.
