ChemInform Abstract: Crystal Structure, ⁷Li NMR, and Structural Relationship of Two Rare‐Earth Metal Richer Polar Intermetallics: La₁₅Ge₉Li_1.50(16) and La₇Ge₃.

Abstract

Small single crystals of La15Ge9Li1.50 (I) and La7Ge3 (II) are obtained by solid state reaction of a 15:9:2 (7:3) molar mixture of the elements (Nb ampoule in evacuated silica tubes, 1080 °C, 5 h).
