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)

The new compounds Pr3Pd6Sb5 (a = 13.442(3), b = 4.442(1), c = 9.994(2) Å ), Nd3Pd6Sb5 (a = 13.412(3), b = 4.431(1), c = 9.962(2) Å), and Gd3Pd6Sb5 (a = 13.293(2), b = 4.397(1), c = 9.881(2) Å) are isotypic and crystallize with the Ce3Pd6Sb5 type structure (Pmmn; Z = 2). The rare-earth metal atoms are arranged in form of three pseudo-body-centered subcells, whereas Pd and Sb atoms form a three-dimensional arrangement derived from the well-known ThCr2Si2 and CaBe2Ge2 structures. GdPdSb (a = 4.566(1), c = 7.444(1) Å) and DyPdSb (a = 4.545(1), c = 7.354(1) Å) crystallize with an ordered variant of the CaIn2 type structure (P63mc; Z = 2), also called as LiGaGe type, with slightly puckered hexagon nets of Pd and Sb atoms, which trigonally coordinate each other. In this series a decreasing radius of the rare-earth metal allows a tetrahedral non-metal environment of the Pd atoms and accordingly ScPdSb (a = 6.310(1) Å) forms the MgAgAs type structure (F4̄3m; Z = 4), a filled variant of the sphalerite type. The antimonides were prepared by heating mixtures of the elements at 600 °C and subsequent annealing at 900 - 1100 °C. Their structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray methods.

ABSTRACTHydrothermal reactions of rare-earth metal acetates and nitrates with oxalic acid (H2C2O4) and 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (H2pddc) in triethylamine/water solutions have yielded five isostructural polymers with the general formula: [Ln(pddc)(C2O4)1/2(H2O)2]·H2O. [Ln = La(1), Pr(2), Nd(3), Eu(4) and Er(5)]. These compounds crystallize in monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/n, Z = 4, with only slight variations in their unit cell parameters: 1 a = 7.747(2), b = 9.954(2), c = 15.134(3) Å, = 98.64(3)°, V = 1153.8(4) Å3; 2 a = 7.707(2), b = 9.895(2), c = 15.006(3) Å, β = 98.54(3)°, V = 1131.7(4) Å3; 3 a = 7.688(2), b = 9.897(2), c = 14.955(3) Å, β = 98.43(3)°, V = 112 5.6(4) Å3; 4 a = 7.638(2), b = 9.842(2), c = 14.809(3) Å, β = 98.42(3)°, V = 1101.2(4) Å3; 5 a = 7.573(2), b = 9.761(2) Å, c = 14.630(3) Å, β = 98.10(3)°, V = 1070.7(4) Å3. The structure of these compounds is composed of 2D Ln(pddc) layers that are interconnected by chelating oxalate. Within the layer, each rare-earth metal forms a monodentate bond with each of the four pddc groups. The metal centers in the neighboring layers are bridged through µ4-oxalate, resulting in a three-dimensional framework. The remaining two sites around the eight-coordinate Ln are occupied by water molecules. Compounds 2, 3, and 5 exhibit paramagnetic behavior and 1 is diamagnetic. They are thermally stable up to 250°C.

AbstractTernary rare earth metal-rich intermetallic phases containing osmium and magnesium were obtained by induction melting of the elements in sealed niobium ampoules under argon followed by annealing in muffle furnaces. The large rare earth elements form the series of Gd4RhIn-type (F4̅3m) intermetallicsRE4OsMg withRE = La–Nd and Sm, while the smaller rare earth metals gadolinium and terbium form the Y9CoMg4-type (P63/mmc) phases Gd9OsMg4and Tb9OsMg4. All samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (Guinier technique). The structures of Ce4Os0.973Mg1.027(a = 1406.54(7) pm,wR2 = 0.0478), Nd4Os0.978Mg1.022(a = 1402.00(7) pm,wR2 = 0.0463), Sm4Os0.920Mg1.080(a = 1387.33(5) pm,wR2 = 0.0378) and Gd9OsMg4(a = 971.01(5),c = 980.43(5) pm,wR2 = 0.0494) were refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data. The threeRE4OsMg phases show small degrees of Os/Mg mixing, as is frequently observed for Rh/In in Gd4RhIn-type intermetallics. The basic building units in both structures are osmium-centeredRE6trigonal prisms that are condensed with emptyRE6octahedra. The magnesium atoms in both types build Mg4tetrahedra. The latter are isolated (312 pm Mg–Mg in Ce4OsMg) and incorporated within the three-dimensional network of prisms and octahedra in theRE4OsMg phases while one observes rows of corner- and face-sharing tetrahedra in Gd9OsMg4(305 and 314 pm Mg–Mg). In both structure types direct Os–Mg bonding is not observed.
