Chemical Bonding Topology of Superconductors. 2. Ternary Lanthanide Rhodium Bordies.
Abstract
Graph theory derived methods are used to derive the chemical bonding topology of the closed shell Rhodium Boride building blocks of the superconducting lanthanide rhodium borides, Lanthanum Rhodium Boride (Ln = lanthanides such as Neodymium, Samarium, Erbium, Thulium, Lutetium. The electronically linked in a three-dimensional lattice by exotetrahedral Rh-Rh bonds. This work thus provides an example of an additional class of relatively high temperature superconductors exhibiting porously delocalized chemical bonding topology like the Chevrel phases idscussed in the previous paper of this series.
