Abstract
EPMA exploration of the Gd–B–C system in the region “Gd–GdB 2–GdBC” and in the neighborhood of the recently described Gd 4B 3C 4 compound led to the identification of 9 new ternary phases, which allows to clear up the phase diagram of this ternary system. A structural description of the bonding between the non-metal atoms in most of the identified compounds is proposed, on the basis of simple electron counting rules and using the planar repeat units or the finite linear anions which have been shown to exist in the structurally characterized rare-earth borocarbide compounds.
