Abstract
The structures of nickel sulfoselenide Chevrel phases have been determined. All the richest nickel phases crystallize in rhombohedral symmetry. A sing le-crystal structural study makes it possible to identify the special nicke l cation locations inside the host network for both pure sulfide and seleni de Chevrel phases. We also show that these nickel atoms can form some kind of cluster in the cavities of the host or Ni-Mo bondings. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
