title: Intermetallic compounds with 1D infinite tunnels. Syntheses and structures of AAu4In2 (A = K, Rb).
abstract: Four intermetallic compounds KxRb1-xAu4In2 (x = 0-1) synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reactions display 1D infinite tunnel constructions with Au-In frameworks. These compounds show small but different cation displacements in the tunnels and are also air and moisture inert at room temperature, even in concentrated HCl(aq).
