The two ternary hydrides Ca8Rh5H23 and Ca8Rh6H24 can be synthesised by
reacting calcium hydride with rhodium in a hydrogen atmosphere. X-ray
investigations on powder samples and elastic neutron diffraction expe
riments on the deuterated compounds led to the complete structures. Bo
th hydrides crystallise in cubic structure types representing a transi
tion from the K2PtCl6 type to the perovskit type structure. The rhodiu
m deuterium bond lengths and the atomic volume of deuterium were discu
ssed.
