“…The first bismuthide with the ThCr 2 Si 2 type of structure, BaMn 2 Bi 2 , was reported only in 2013. It displays antiferromagnetic and thermoelectric properties, and, with the partial substitution of barium for potassium, it demonstrates a transition to a superconducting state [1,8,9]. Recently, we have presented several compounds of the ATM 2 Bi 2 (A = K, Rb, Cs, TM = Zn, Cd) series crystallizing in the ThCr 2 Si 2 structure type, in which a certain electron deficiency and the presence of Bi•••Bi interaction between neighboring layers were observed [10].…”
