Abstract A new ternary phase, TiIrB, was synthesized by arc-melting of the elements and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ti 1+ x Rh 2− x + y Ir 3− y B 3 structure type, space group Pbam (no. 55) with the lattice parameters a = 8.655(2), b = 15.020(2), and c = 3.2271(4) Å. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to understand the electronic structure, including a Bader charge analysis. The charge distribution of TiIrB in the Ti 1+ x Rh 2− x + y Ir 3− y B 3 -type phase has been evaluated for the first time, and the results indicate that more electron density is transferred to the boron atoms in the zigzag B 4 units than to isolated boron atoms.

Quaternary MAX phases, (Ta 1−x Ti x ) 3 AlC 2 ( x = 0.4, 0.62, 0.75, 0.91 or 0.95), have been synthesised via pressureless sintering of TaC, TiC, Ti and Al powders. Via chemical etching of the Al layers, (Ta 0.38 Ti 0.62 ) 3 C 2 T z – a new MXene, has also been synthesised. All materials contain an M-layer solid solution of Ta and Ti, with a variable Ta concentration, paving the way for the synthesis of a range of alloyed (Ta,Ti) 3 C 2 T z MXenes with tuneable compositions for a wide range of potential applications.
