Abstract:
The new compounds Y 7 I 12 C 2 N and Ho 7 I 12 C 2 N have been prepared by reaction of stoichiometric amounts of the metals (RE), REI 3 , REN and C in closed Ta capsules at 1150 and 1120K, respectively. Pure samples of the compounds were obtained after 5 days annealing time. The crystals with xenomorphic shape are olive-green (Y 7 I 12 C 2 N) or red-brown (Ho 7 I 12 C 2 N) in colour and sensitive to air and moisture. Y 7 I 12 C 2 N crystallizes in the space group P 1̄ (No. 2) with lattice constants a = 971.24(7), b = 1030.38(7), c = 1673.58(11) pm and α = 101.366(5), β = 92.758(5), γ = 112.799(5)°. According to Guinier photographs Ho7I12C2N is isotypic with the lattice consiants u - 968.8(3), b = 1028.7(3), r. = 1667.8(5) pm and α = 101.31(2), β = 92.78(2), γ = 112.80(1)°. In the structure the C atoms are present as C 2 units with a C -C distance of 144 pm. These C 2 units are octahedrally coordinated by Y atoms (o 1 ). The N atoms are in the center of Y 4 tetrahedra, which are linked via a common edge to form double tetrahedra (t 2 ). By condensation of N-centered double tetrahedra (t 2 ) with a C 2 -centered Y octahedron (o 1 ) the characteristic units o 1 t 2 o 1 are formed. The I atoms coordinate all free edges and corners of these units and connect them via I i - I a contacts parallel [100] and [001] . The compounds are semiconducting. Ho 7 I 12 C 2 N exhibits Curie-Weiss behaviour with θ = 15(1) K and μ eff = 10.5(1) μ B .
