“…For some of these, a dependence on both the reaction temperature and reaction stoichiometry is found, which shows that both kinetic and thermodynamic products can be accessed under appropriate conditions . Continuing the theme of using rare-earth cations to assemble p-block atoms, Dehnen and co-workers shift our focus from carbon, to the heavy Group 13 and 15 members indium and bismuth . While numerous examples of d-block ions encapsulated by Zintl phases are known, analogous rare-earth and actinide examples are rare.…”
