The three binary Tb/Er-rich transition metal compounds Tb3Pd2 (triterbium dipalladium), Er3Pd2 (trierbium dipalladium) and Er6Co5-x (hexaerbium pentacobalt) crystallize in the space groups Pbam (Pearson symbol oP20), P4/mbm (tP10) and P6(3)/m (hP22), respectively. Single crystals of Tb3Pd2 and Er6Co5-x suitable for X-ray structure analysis were obtained using rare-earth halides as a flux. Tb3Pd2 adopts its own structure type, which can be described as a superstructural derivative of the U3Si2 type, which is the type adopted by Er3Pd2. Compound Er6Co5-x belongs to the Ce6Co2-xSi3 family. All three compounds feature fused tricapped {TR6} (R = rare-earth metal and T = transition metal) trigonal prismatic heterometallic clusters. R3Pd2 is reported to crystallize in the U3Si2 type; however, our more detailed structure analysis reveals that deviations occur with heavier R elements. Similarly, Er6Co5-x was assumed to be stoichiometric Er4Co3 = Er6Co4.5. Our studies reveal that it has a single defective transition-metal site leading to the composition Er6Co4.72(2). LMTO (linear muffin-tin orbital)-based electronic structure calculations suggest the strong domination of heteroatomic bonding in all three structures.
