Abstract

Despite the high neutron absorption of natural europium, the crystal structures of two Eu hydrides could be solved from powder diffraction data. EuMg2D6 crystallizes in a novel AB2X6 structure type (see picture), EuMgD4 is isotypic to BaZnF4. The mean Eu-D distances are 258 and 253 pm, respectively.

Keywords: Europium; Metal hydrides; Neutron absorption; Neutron diffraction; Structure elucidation.
