inorganic compounds
A novel intermetallic compound CeCu1 - xBi2 (x = 0.3) [bismuth-cerium-copper (2/1/0.7)], has been synthesized by the bismuth self-flux method and its structure has been analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound is found to have the ZrCuSi2 structure type. This can be described as a layered structure in which two-dimension Bi layers consisting of closely arranged Bi atoms in a square-lattice array and CeBiCu slabs formed by edge-sharing CeBiCu4 distorted octahedra stack alternately along the [001] direction via Ce-Bi and Bi-Bi bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
