Title: Crystal Chemistry of RE6MgxCd23-xPb [0.6(1) ≤ x ≤ 3.2(1); RE = La and Ce]. New Mixed-Metal Derivatives of the RE6Cd23T Phases (T = Group 14/15/16 Element)

Abstract

Synthesis and crystal structure determinations are reported for six quaternary phases with the general formula RE 6 Mg x Cd 23– x Pb [ RE = La, Ce; 0.6(1) ≤ x ≤ 3.2(1)]. These compounds were prepared by high temperature reactions of the elements in sealed Nb tubes. As revealed by powder and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, their crystal structures are of the cubic Zr 6 Zn 23 Si system ( cF 120, Fm 3 m, Z = 4), itself an interstitially filled variant of the Th 6 Mn 23 structure type. Rather than distributing equally across the entire Cd 23 sub‐structure, Mg displayed a tendency to accumulate at specific sites (most notably 4 a ); charge differences between sites within the sub‐structure, as revealed by computational methods, are the likeliest explanation.
