The structure of SmCu7.69In3.31 belongs to a new structure type and features a three-dimensional （3D） [Cusln2M4] （M = Cu/In） framework composed of [CusinnM4] clusters interconnected via sharing In atoms as well as Cu-ln and In-In bonds. The Sm atoms are located in the one-dimensional （1 D） tunnels along the c-axis. The structural relationship of the title compound with other similar Sm-Cu-In phases was also studied. Band structure calculations based on Density Functional Theory （DFT） method indicate that SmCuT.69In3.31 is metallic.
EuMg6Sn3.67 has been synthesized by reacting the mixture of the corresponding pure elements at high temperature, and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. EuMg6Sn3.67 crystallizes in hexagonal space group P63/m （No. 176） with a = 11.7259（4）, c = 4.5507（2） A, V= 541.88（4）A3 Z = 2, Mr = 734.60, Dc= 4.502 g/cm3, μ = 14.348 mm-1, F（000） = 638, the final R = 0.0128 and wR = 0.0378 for 464 observed reflections with 1 〉 2σ-（1）. EuMg6Sn3.67 is closely related to the Ba2Mg2GeT.33 structure type and features a three-dimensional [Mg6Sn3.67] framework with one-dimensional hexagonal tunnels along the c-axis occupied by the Eu atoms. Electronic structure calculation indicates that the title compound is metallic.
A new tetragonal phase of LunSnl0 is obtained from high temperature reaction of the pure elements in a welded tantalum tube. Its crystal structure was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Lu11Sn10 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group 14/mmm （No. 139） with a = 11.2953（18）, c = 16.424（4） A, V= 2095.5（7）A3, Z= 4, Mr = 3111.57, Dc = 9.863 g/cm^3, p = 62.897 -1 mm , F（000） = 5124, and the final R = 0.0348 and wR = 0.0894 for 706 observed reflections with 1 〉 2σ（I）. The structure of LullSnl0 may be derived from the HonGel0 structural type. It is isostructural with DyllSn10, featuring a three-dimensional （3D） framework composed of [Sn4] squares and [Sn2] dimers interlinked via Sn-Sn bonds with two types of one-dimensional （1D） tunnels along the c-axis, which are occupied by isolated Sn atoms, [Sn2] dimers and all the Lu atoms Band structure calculation based on density functional theory method indicates that LUllSn10 is metallic.
