Moreover, their peculiar chemical properties can sometimes give rise to unconventional superconducting or magnetic ground states. In the current work, we present an in-depth analysis of single crystals of YHg and LuHg (MgCd structure type, space group 6/).

- - The study of Be Ru's hexagonal layered crystal structure utilized single crystal X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, revealing a main hexagonal matrix with minor orthorhombic inclusions.
- - The atomic arrangement is stabilized through charge transfer from Be to Ru and the presence of polar three- and four-atomic bonds between the elements.
- - Unlike typical intermetallic compounds, Be Ru displays a pseudo gap in its electronic density of states near the Fermi level, and it demonstrates metallic behavior in electrical resistivity as a result of a non-zero DOS at that level.
MgPt represents the family of complex intermetallic compounds (complex metallic alloys, CMAs). It crystallizes in the cubic non-centrosymmetric space group 4̅3 with = 20.1068(2) Å and around 400 atoms in a predominantly ordered arrangement.
