The rare earth/transition element intermetallics R2T17 are essentially topologically close packed phases for which layer structure models have already been presented. Many of these compounds are known to undergo allotropic transformation of the type at elevated temperatures. It is not unexpected that shear transformation mechanisms are involved in view of the layering character of the structures. The transformations are evidently quite sluggish, illustrated in furnace cooled Dy2Co17 by the fact that only rarely has the low temperature rhombohedral form been seen. The more usual structures observed so far in furnace cooled alloys include 4H and 6H in Dy2Co17 (Figs. 1 and 2) . In any event it is quite clear that the general microstructure is very complicated as a consequence of the allotropy, illustrated in Fig. 3. Numerous planar defects in the layer plane orientation are evident as are non-layer plane defects inherited from a high temperature structure.

The atomic structures of internal interfaces have recently received considerable attention, not only because of their importance in determining many materials properties, but also because the atomic structure of many interfaces has become accessible to direct atomic-scale observation by modem HREM instruments. In this communication, several interface structures are examined by HREM in terms of their structural periodicities along the interface.It is well known that heterophase boundaries are generally formed by two low-index planes. Often, as is the case in many fcc metal/metal and metal/metal-oxide systems, low energy boundaries form in the cube-on-cube orientation on (111). Since the lattice parameter ratio between the two materials generally is not a rational number, such boundaries are incommensurate. Therefore, even though periodic arrays of misfit dislocations have been observed by TEM techniques for numerous heterophase systems, such interfaces are quasiperiodic on an atomic scale. Interfaces with misfit dislocations are semicoherent, where atomically well-matched regions alternate with regions of misfit. When the misfit is large, misfit localization is often difficult to detect, and direct determination of the atomic structure of the interface from HREM alone, may not be possible.

We report selective formation of heterobimetallic PtII/CuI complexes that demonstrate how facile bond activation processes can be achieved by altering reactivity of common organoplatinum compounds through their interaction with another metal center. The interaction of the Cu center with Pt center and with a Pt-bound alkyl group increases the stability of PtMe2 towards undesired rollover cyclometalation. The presence of the CuI center also enables facile transmetalation from electron-deficient tetraarylborate [B(ArF)4]- anion and mild C-H bond cleavage of a terminal alkyne, which was not observed in the absence of an electrophilic Cu center. The DFT study indicates that the role of Cu center acts as a binding site for alkyne substrate, while activating its terminal C-H bond.
