The equiatomic germanidesREPtGe with the heavy rare earth elements (RE) have been reinvesti- gated with respect to platinum-germanium ordering. The compounds were prepared by arc-melting of the elements followed by annealing for two weeks at 1070 K. TheREPtGe germanides crystal- lize with the TiNiSi-type structure, space groupPnma. The structures of ErPtGe (a= 692.01(5),b= 432.03(4),c= 753.19(5) pm,wR2 = 0.0523, 435F2, 20 variables) and the new germanide LuPtGe (a= 683.1(1),b= 429.2(1),c= 750.3(1) pm,wR2 = 0.0696, 358F2, 20 variables) have been refined from single crystal diffractometer data. These structures exhibit three-dimensional [PtGe] networks with strong Pt–Ge intra- (251 – 255 pm in LuPtGe) and weaker interlayer (272 pm in LuPtGe) inter- actions. The crystal chemical peculiarities of the wholeREPtGe series are briefly discussed.
