Single crystals of the laser host material Sc2SiO5 as well as thulium- (4 at.-%) and ytterbium- (5 at.-%) doped samples were prepared by the Czochralski technique. The structures of Sc2SiO5, Tm3+:Sc2SiO5, and Yb3+:Sc2SiO5 were refined on the basis of high-quality single-crystal X-ray diffraction data: monoclinic Y2SiO5 type, space group C2/c. The X-ray data unambiguously show that the larger rare earth cations exclusively occupy the 8 f site with oxygen coordination number 7.

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

The rare earth metal (RE)-magnesium-thallides REMgTl (RE = Y, La-Nd, Sm, Gd-Tm, Lu) were prepared from the elements in sealed tantalum tubes in a water-cooled sample chamber of a high-frequency furnace. The thallides were characterized through their X-ray powder patterns. They crystallize with the hexagonal ZrNiAl type structure, space group P62m, with three formula units per cell. Four structures were refined from X-ray single crystal diffractometer data: α = 750.5(1), c = 459.85(8) pm, wR2 = 0.0491, 364 F2 values, 14 variables for YMgTl; α = 781.3(1), c = 477.84(8) pm, wR2 = 0.0640, BASF = 0.09(2), 425 F2 values, 15 variables for LaMgTl; α = 774.1(1), c = 473.75(7) pm, wR2 = 0.0405, 295 F2 values, 14 variables for CeMgTl; a = 760.3(1), c = 465.93(8) pm, wR2 = 0.0262, 287 F2 values, 14 variables for SmMgTl. The PrMgTl, NdMgTl, GdMgTl, TbMgTl, and DyMgTl structures have been analyzed using the Rietveld technique. The REMgTl structures contain two cystallographically independent thallium sites, both with tri-capped trigonal prismatic coordination: Tl1Mg3RE6 and Tl2Mg6RE3. Together the magnesium and thallium atoms form three-dimensional [MgTl] networks with Mg-Mg distances of 327 and Mg-Tl distances in the range 299 - 303 pm (data for CeMgTl)

Cadmium Compounds

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.
