Reactions of anthracene in Ln/T eutectic mixtures (Ln = La, Yb; T = Ni, Cu) have produced crystals of new complex lanthanide carbide hydride phases. The thermal decomposition of anthracene provides a source of both carbon and hydrogen. LaCHxforms in space groupPnmawith unit cell parametersa= 7.2736(4) Å,b= 3.7218(2) Å, andc= 13.0727(7) Å. Yb2CHxforms in space groupP-3m1 with unit cell parametersa= 3.5659(4) Å andc= 5.8000(8) Å, with a structure related to that of Ho2CF2. The presence of hydride in interstitial sites is supported by the formation of different compounds in the absence of hydrogen and by comparison to known hydride structures.1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra collected on LaCHxshow two unique hydride resonances, in agreement with the two available interstitial sites. Density of states calculations show that filling the tetrahedral sites in LaCHxwith hydrogen increases metallic behavior, while adding hydrogen into the tetrahedral sites in Yb2CHxinduces the formation of a band gap.
