Rhodium I 7900 New Scandium Rhodium Boride Sc4Rh17B12 with a Framework Structure: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Properties. -The title compound is prepared by arc melting of the elements and its crystal structure is determined by single crystal XRD. Sc4Rh17B12 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with Z = 4. Characteristic building units of the three-dimensional structure are boron-centered trigonal [BRh6] and [BRh5Sc] prisms, and trigonal [BRh5B] prisms representing the coordination polyhedra of paired boron atoms. Sc 4 Rh 17 B 12 is a Pauli paramagnet and shows metallic conductivity. -(ALEKSEEVA, A. M.; LEITHE-JASPER, A.; PROTS, Y.; SCHNELLE, W.; GRIN, Y.; ANTIPOV*, E. V.; Russ. Chem.
