The new compound Y16I19C8B4 was prepared from Y, YI3, C and B at 1050-1150°C. The structure of a twinned crystal was determined by means of X-ray diffraction (space group P 1, a = 12.311(2) A, b = 13.996(3) A, c = 19.695(3) A, α = 74.96(2)°, β = 89.51(2)°, γ = 67.03(2)°, Z = 2). Y16I19C8B4 is a semiconductor and contains nearly planar B2C4 units which are located in cages built up by 12 yttrium atoms. Assuming (B2C4)12-, these units can be regarded as isoelectronic with B2F4. The yttrium cages are connected via faces to form rods, which are surrounded by iodine atoms. Bridging iodine atoms connect the rods so that layers are formed. The characteristic twinning observed can be understood from the geometry of the crystal structure.

The compounds RE19(C2)3I34 (RE = Y, Gd) were prepared from RE, REI3 and carbon in a molar ratio of 20:34:18 by the addition of three parts of REH at 920 °C (Y) and 900 °C (Gd), respectively, forming moisture sensitive, black shiny brittle polyhedra. X-ray single crystal investigations indicated the triclinic system and E value statistics showed P1, a = 9.3683(9) , b = 10.3410(9) A, c = 22.1726(20) A, α = 79.104( 10)°, β = 88.175( 11 )°, γ = 69.227( 10)° for Y19(C2)3I 34 and a = 9.4172(9) A, b = 10.3390(10) A c= 22.3711(24) A, α= 79.001(12)°, β= 88.320(12)°, γ = 69.250(11)° for Gd19(C2)3I34,, respectively. The RE atoms form two sets of different RE6 octahedra centered by C2 groups, which are coordinated by iodine atoms above all edges. In addition one isolated RE position occurs. The refinement served problems because of significant disorder showing up in a 65 % occupation of the isolated RE position and quite significant residual electron densities near the heavy atom positions. Electron diffraction confirmed the ideal structure, however, a detailed analysis via HRTEM showed alternations in the sequence of two kinds of layers.
