Abstract

AbstractThe mercury‐richest europium amalgam Eu10Hg55 was synthesized by isothermal electrocrystallization from a solution of EuI3·8DMF in DMF on a reactive mercury cathode. The crystal structure shows remarkable complexity and polar metal–metal bonding. Closely related to the structures of mercury‐rich amalgams A11–xHg55+x (A = Na, Ca, Sr), it shows underoccupied Hg positions along [00z]. Eu10Hg55 can be described as hettotype structure of the Gd14Ag51 structure type.
