The title compound has been obtained by arc-melting of the elemental components and subsequent annealing at 800 °C. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Immm, a = 430.3(1), b = 1235.0(2), c = 967.6(3) pm, V = 0.5142(2) nm3, Z = 2. The structure has been determined from single-crystal X-ray data and refined to R = 0.0181 for 747 F2 values and 28 variables. It is of a new type and can be described as a ternary ordered version of the binary La3Al11-type structure. Dy3Co6Sn5 is built up from DyCo2Sn2 and DyCo2Sn slabs with ThCr2Si2 and Cu3Au-like atomic arrangements, respectively. Its crystal chemistry is compared with that of structurally related rare earth transition metal gallides.

The new ternary stannides RE2Au2Sn (RE = Gd, Tb) and indides RE2Au2In (RE = Y, Gd-Tm, Lu) were synthesized by arc-melting of the elemental components and subsequent annealing at 800 °C. While Gd2Au2Sn, Tb2Au2Sn and the indides with RE = Y, Gd-Er crystallize in the ordered U3Si2 structure, Tm2Au2In and Lu2Au2In adopt the ordered Zr3Al2 structure, respectively. The crystal structure of Dy2Au2In was refined from single-crystal X- ray data: P4/mbm, Z = 2, a = 784.1(1) pm, c = 373.9(1) pm, V = 0.2299 nm3 and R = 0.028 for 342 F2 values and 12 variables. The tin (indium) atoms in these compounds occupy [RE8] square prisms and the gold atoms are surrounded by [RE6] trigonal prisms. These fragments are derived from the AlB2 and CsCl-type structures. The crystal chemistry of these com­pounds is briefly discussed.

New intermetallic compounds RE4TCd (RE = Y, La-Nd, Sm, Gd-Tm, Lu; T = Ni, Pd, Ir, Pt) were synthesized by melting of the elements in sealed tantalum tubes in a highfrequency furnace. They crystallize with the Gd4RhIn-type structure, space group F 4̄3m, Z = 16. The four gadolinium compounds were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffractometer data: a = 1361.7(1) pm, wR2 = 0.062, 456 F2 values, 19 variables for Gd4NiCd; a = 1382.1(2) pm, wR2 = 0.077, 451 F2 values, 19 variables for Gd4PdCd; a = 1363.6(2) pm, wR2 = 0.045, 494 F2 values, 19 variables for Gd4IrCd; a = 1379.0(1) pm, wR2 = 0.045, 448 F2 values, 19 variables for Gd4PtCd. The rare earth atoms build up transition metal-centered trigonal prisms which are condensed via common corners and edges, leading to three-dimensional adamantane-related networks. The cadmium atoms form Cd4 tetrahedra which fill voids left in the prisms’ network.

New intermetallic compounds RE5T2In4 (RE = Sc, Y, La-Nd, Sm, Gd-Tm, Lu; T = Rh, Ir) were synthesized by arc-melting of the elements or by induction melting of the elements in tantalum crucibles under flowing argon. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. They crystallize with the orthorhombic Lu5Ni2In4-type structure, space group Pbam, Z = 2, a 2 : 1 intergrowth variant of CsCl and AlB2 related slabs of compositions InRE8 (distorted cubes) and RhRE6 (distorted trigonal prisms). Susceptibility measurements of Ce5Ir2In4 have revealed modified Curie- Weiss behavior above 70 K with an experimental magnetic moment of 2.45(1) μB / Ce atom. The cerium magnetic moments order ferri- or ferromagnetically at TC = 7.1(2) K.

The rare earth-rich intermetallic compounds RE23T7CD4(RE = La-Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb; T = Co, Ni, Ru, Rh, Ir, Pt) were synthesized by melting of the elements in sealed tantalum tubes in a high frequency furnace. They crystallize with the Pr23Ir7Mg4-type structure, space group P63mc, Z = 2. The structures of La23Pt7Cd4 (a = 1025.4(2), c = 2319.5(5) pm, wR2 = 0.0425, 2587 F2, 74 variables), La23Ru6.87(1)Cd4 (a = 1015.0(2), c = 2282.8(4) pm, wR2 = 0.0383, 2459 F2, 75 variables), and Nd23Rh7Cd4 (a = 990.0(2), c = 2239.0(5) pm, wR2 = 0.0507, 2350 F2, 74 variables) were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. Central structural motifs of the RE23 T7Cd4 compounds are transition metal-centered trigonal prisms of rare earth atoms and Cd4 tetrahedra. The RE6T prisms are condensed via common edges and corners, leading to three-dimensional networks. Typical interatomic distances in the prismatic network and in the Cd4 tetrahedra are 295 - 313 pm La-Pt and 319 - 325 pm Cd-Cd, respectively (examplarily for La23Pt7Cd4)

AbstractThree series of rare earth-transition metal-indides RE3T2In4 (RE=Y, Gd–Tm, Lu; T=Ni, Ru, Rh) were synthesized from arc-melted RE3T2 precursor compounds and indium tear shot in sealed niobium ampoules using different annealing sequences. The new indides crystallize with the hexagonal Lu3Co2In4-type structure, space group P6̅. All samples were characterized on the basis of Guinier powder patterns and six structures were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. The RE3T2In4 structures are derived from the ZrNiAl type through RE/In ordering, paralleled by a symmetry reduction from P6̅2m to P6̅. This induces twinning for some of the investigated crystals. The main crystal chemical motifs of the RE3T2In4 structures are trigonal prisms of rare earth, respectively indium atoms that are filled by the transition metals.

Abstract The structure of the title compound has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The title compound is synthesized from the elements at 600 °C. Its crystal structure, derived from powder data [3] is refined by single crystal diffractometer data. The structure is trigonal (P3̅ml, α = 684.1(1), c = 724.4(1) pm); Pd2+ cations and PS43- anions form a network with an anti-Claudetite (AS2O3) type structure. The PS4 units are distinctly distorted from ideal tetrahedral symmetry. The Pd atoms have a planar environment of 4 S atoms.

The room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of the title compound (tpyH2)2[Tb(OH2)8]Cl7.~2⅓H2O is recorded. Crystals are triclinic, Pī , a 17.063(5), b 16.243(3), c 7.878(3) Ǻ, α 84.78(2), β 84.39(3), γ 87.81(2)°, Z = 2 formula units; 3167 'observed' diffractometer reflections were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a residual of 0.057. Notable features of interest of the compound are the 'chelation' of chloride ions by the terpyridinium cations , and the existence of a free [Tb(OH2)8]2+ cation in the presence of an abundance of chloride ions.

The equiatomic rare earth compounds REPtZn (RE = Y, Pr, Nd, Gd-Tm) were synthesized from the elements in sealed tantalum tubes by high-frequency melting at 1500 K followed by annealing at 1120 K and quenching. The samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The structures of four crystals were refined from single-crystal diffractometer data: TiNiSi type, Pnma, a = 707.1(1), b = 430.0(1), c = 812.4(1) pm, wR2 = 0.066, 602 F2, 21 variables for PrPt1.056Zn0.944; a = 695.2(1), b = 419.9(1), c = 804.8(1) pm, wR2 = 0.041, 522 F2, 21 variables for GdPt0.941Zn1.059; a = 688.2(1), b = 408.1(1), c = 812.5(1) pm, wR2 = 0.041, 497 F2, 22 variables for HoPt1.055Zn0.945; a = 686.9(1), b = 407.8(1), c = 810.4(1) pm, wR2 = 0.061, 779 F2, 20 variables for ErPtZn. The single-crystal data indicate small homogeneity ranges REPt1±xZn1±x. The platinum and zinc atoms build up three-dimensional [PtZn] networks (265 - 269 pm Pt-Zn in ErPtZn) in which the erbium atoms fill cages with coordination number 16 (6 Pt + 6 Zn + 4 Er). Bonding of the erbium atoms to the [PtZn] network proceeds via shorter RE-Pt distances, i. e. 288 - 293 pm in ErPtZn.

The Rare Earth

Small single crystals of the Sm5Ge4-type (space group Pnma) germanides RE2Nb3Ge4 (RE = Sc, Y, Gd-Er, Lu) and Sc2Ta3Ge4 were synthesized by arc-melting of the respective elements. The samples were characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In all structures, except for Sc2.04Nb2.96Ge4 and Sc2.19Ta2.81Ge4, the rare earth and niobium atoms show full ordering on the three crystallographically independent samarium sites of the Sm5Ge4 type. Two sites with coordination number 6 are occupied by niobium, while the slightly larger site with coordination number 7 is filled with the rare earth element. Small homogeneity ranges with RE=Nb and RE=Ta mixing can be expected for all compounds. The ordered substitution of two rare earth sites by niobium or tantalum has drastic effects on the coordination number and chemical bonding. This was studied for the pair Y5Ge4/Y2Nb3Ge4. Electronic structure calculations show larger charge transfer from yttrium to germanium for Y5Ge4, contrary to Y2Nb3Ge4 which shows stronger covalent bonding due to the presence of Nb replacing Y at two sites
