Abstract
The new compound Gd2NCl3 is formed from GdCl3 with Gd and N2 as well as from GdCl3 with GdN (at 1020 K). The crystal structure contains NGd4 tetrahedra, which are linked via opposite edges to form infinite chains (Orthorhombic, Pbcn; a = 1301.7(1), b = 673.10(6), c = 614.03(7) pm; R = 0.031 for 578 independent reflections). The formal analogy with structures containing condensed clusters, e.g. Gd2Cl3, is discussed.
