The title compounds have been prepared by annealing cold-pressed pellets of the binary nitrides LnN and CrN. Well developed crystals were obtained by recrystallization of the binary or prereacted ternary nitrides in a Li3N flux. Their structures were determined from single-crystal diffractometer data. C e2CrN3 has a U2CrN3 type structure: Immm , a = 379.0(1), b = 340.4(1), c = 1251.7(2) pm, Z = 2, R = 0.012 for 383 structure factors and 16 variables. The atomic positions of this structure are similar to those of U2IrC2 and K2NiF4. The structure may be rationalized to a first approximation with the formula (Ce+4)2[CrN3]8−. The chromium atoms are in a distorted square-planar nitrogen coordination. The CrN4-squares are linked via corner-sharing nitrogen atoms, thus forming infinite, straight - N - CrN2- N - CrN2- chains. The cubic structure of La3Cr10−xN11 (a = 1298.2(1) pm ), Ce3Cr10−xN11 (with a small homogenity range; a = 1284.3(1)-1286.1(3) pm ), and Pr3Cr10−xN11 (a = 1289.1(2) pm ) was determined for the lanthanum compound: Fm 3̄ m , Z = 8, R = 0.027 for 189 F values and 18 variables. One chromium site was found to have an occupancy of only 80.9(5)% resulting in the composition La3Cr9.24(1)N11. The nitrogen atoms occupy four atomic sites. Three of these have octahedral environments (6 La, 3 La + 3 Cr, 2 La + 4 Cr), the fourth one is surrounded by eight chromium atoms forming a cube. The chromium atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated by nitrogen atoms, and these CrN4-tetrahedra are linked via common corners and edges to form a three-dimensionally infinite polyanionic network. In addition the chromium atoms with oxidation numbers of about 2 to 3 form numerous Cr - Cr bonds, which allow to rationalize the Pauli paramagnetism of the compound.

It is necessary to formpinning centers in superconductors to allow the flow of large currents throughthe specimens. To clarify the properties of pinning centers, it is preferableto investigate single crystals. In this study, heat treatment was used to dopevarious oxides into Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox(Bi-2212) single crystals prepared by self-flux methods and the criticalcurrent (Ic) was measured. The oxides used in this study were Al2O3and the rare earth oxides Er2O3and Nd2O3. At 77K, Nd2O3and Er2O3 are magnetic, whereas Al2O3is nonmagnetic. The Ic of the samples were measured as a current per width of 1cm (Ics). The resulting Ics of the Bi-2212 single crystal was 2.8A/cm and thatof the Al2O3 doped Bi-2212 sample was 4.5A/cm. Comparedwith these samples, doping the other rare earth oxides gave Ics values inexcess 10A/cm. The results indicated that the doping oxides were effective inoperating as pinning centers in the samples. We assumed the current path in asingle crystal, and calculated the Ics by superconducting current simulation.The results indicated that the oxides permeated from a crystal surface in aporous shape. The oxides increase the current which flow in the Cu-O2planes that are parallel to the a-b plane.

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.
