The crystal structures of the R(Ag,Pb)(2) (R=Y, Er, Tm) compounds were inve
stigated using X-ray powder diffraction. The compounds crystallize with the
Cain, structure type (space group P6(3)/mmc, Pearson symbol hP6). The latt
ice parameters are following: a=4.7414(2) Angstrom, c=7.4346(4) Angstrom fo
r YAg0.78Pb1.22; a=4.7170(2) Angstrom, c=7.3711(4) Angstrom for ErAg0.70Pb1
.30 and a=4.7035(2) Angstrom, c=7.3564(5) Angstrom for TmAg0.62Pb1.38. (C)
