The ternary TbNdZnNi (x = 0.5, y = 4.83) disordered phase belongs to the structural family based on the rhombohedral ThZn structure type.

Grown from lithium flux, the ErCo5Si(3.17) silicide is a combination of disordered derivatives of the UCo5Si3 and Yb6Co30P19 structure types.

A ternary hexaerbium triacontacobalt enneakaidecasilicide, ErCo5Si(3.17), crystallizes as a combination of disordered variants of the hexagonal UCo5Si3 (P6₃/m) and Yb6Co30P19 (P6) structure types and is closely related to the Sc6Co30Si19 and Ce6Rh30Si19 types. The Er, Co and three of the Si atoms occupy sites of m.

Thulium nickel/lithium distannide, TmNi1-x Li x Sn2 (x = 0.035).

The quaternary thulium nickel/lithium distannide, TmNi1-x Li x Sn2 (x = 0.035), crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic LuNiSn2 structure type. The asymmetric unit contains three Tm sites, six Sn sites, two Ni sites and one Ni/Li site [relative occupancies = 0.

Tm2.22Co6Sn20 and TmLi2Co6Sn20 stannides as disordered derivatives of the Cr23C6 structure type.

A new ternary dithulium hexacobalt icosastannide, Tm2.22Co6Sn20, and a new quaternary thulium dilithium hexacobalt icosastannide, TmLi2Co6Sn20, crystallize as disordered variants of the binary cubic Cr23C6 structure type (cF116). 48 Sn atoms occupy sites of m.

Crystal and electronic structures of La2LiGe6-x (x = 0.21) and La2LiGe4Si2.

The synthesis and characterization of a new ternary dilanthanum lithium hexagermanide, La(2)LiGe(6-x) (x = 0.21), belonging to the Pr(2)LiGe(6) structure type, and a quaternary dilanthanum lithium tetragermanium disilicide, La(2)LiGe(4)Si(2), which crystallizes as an ordered variant of this type, are reported. In both structures, Li is on a site of mmm symmetry.

Terbium (lithium zinc) distannide, TbLi(1-x)Zn(x)Sn(2) (x = 0.2).

The new terbium (lithium zinc) distannide, TbLi(1-x)Zn(x)Sn(2) (x = 0.2) crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic CeNiSi(2) structure type with space group Cmcm and Pearson symbol oS16. Of the four independent 4c atom positions (m2m site symmetry), three are fully occupied by individual atoms (two by Sn and one by Tb atoms) and the fourth is occupied by Li and Zn atoms with a statistical distribution.

Penta-terbium lithium tris-tannide, Tb(5)LiSn(3).

The new ternary phase penta-terbium lithium tris-tannide, Tb(5)LiSn(3), crystallizes in the hexa-gonal Hf(5)CuSn(3) structure type, which is a 'filled' version of the binary RE(5)Sn(3) phases (Mn(5)Si(3)-type) (RE is rare earth). The asymmetric unit contains two Tb sites (site symmetries 3.2 and m2m), one Li site (site symmetry [Formula: see text].
