Abstract

The two most metal-rich lanthanide antimony phases known were obtained from high-temperature solid state syntheses, that for Tm3Sb being of greater difficulty because of its apparent incongruent melting. The Tm3Sb phase crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P42/n (No. 86) with a Ti3P-type (Pearson: tP32) structure, a = 12.2294(5) Å, c = 5.9852(5) Å, and Z = 8. The phase Lu7Sb3 exhibits a Sc7As3-type tetragonal structure, I4/mcm (No. 140) (tI56), with a = 15.5974(7) Å, c = 8.8130(7) Å, and Z = 8. Both structures are described in terms of compact arrays of condensed chains of metal polyhedra (tetrahedral, tetrahedral star, trigonal prismatic, cubic) together with six- to nine-coordinate Sb in metal polyhedra. Magnetic susceptibility data on the paramagnetic Tm3Sb are also reported.
