We account for two empirical rules of the Nowotny chimney ladder phases (NCLs, intermetallic compounds of the form TtEm; T, groups 4-9; E, groups 13-15). The first rule is that for late transition metal NCLs the total number of valence electrons per T atom is 14. The second is the appearance of a pseudoperiodicity with a spacing, c(pseudo), which is directly related to the stoichiometry, TtEm, by (2t - m) c(pseudo) = c. Both rules are accounted for by viewing the NCLs as twinned structures constructed from blocks of the parent compound, RuGa2 of thickness c(pseudo)/2, with the successive layers rotated relative to each other by 90degrees. Sterically encumbered E atoms are then deleted at the interfaces between layers, followed by relaxation.
