Abstrakt: Single crystals of a new multinary chromium carbide, La 21 Cr 8-2 a Al b Ge 7- b C 12 (henicosa-lanthanum octa-chromium aluminium hexa-germanium dodeca-carbide), were grown from an La-rich self flux and were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The face-centered cubic crystal structure is composed of isolated and geometrically frustrated regular Cr tetra-hedra that are co-centered within regular C octa-hedra. These mutually separated Cr 4-a C 6 clusters are distributed throughout a three-dimensional framework of Al, Ge, and La. The title compound is isotypic with La 21-δ Mn 8 X 7 C 12 and R 21 Fe 8 X 7 C 12 ( R = La, Ce, Pr; X = Al, Bi, Ge, Sn, Sb, Te) and represents the first example of a Cr-based compound with this structure-type.
