✦ Synopsis

Five new compounds of alkali metal, indium, and bismuth were synthesized by direct fusion of the elements. The structures of these compounds, Na 3 In 2 Bi 3 (I) (re5ned composition NaIn 0.61(1) Bi, orthorhombic, Pnma, a ‫؍‬ 8.062(2), b ‫؍‬ 4.8684(8), and c ‫؍‬ 9.2455(9) A s ), Na 3 InBi 2 (II) (monoclinic, P2 1 /c, a ‫؍‬ 18.841(3), b ‫؍‬ 9.235(1), and c ‫؍‬ 12.661(2) A > , ‫؍‬ 98.67(2)3), K 7 In 4 Bi 6 (III) (re5ned composition K 4.71(3) In 2.52(2) Bi 4 , tetragonal,
