Antimonide-actinide compounds

Antimonide-actinide compounds, lattice parameter for rock-salt... 

Figure 3. The lattice parameter for the family of rock-salt structure actinide-antimonide compounds is shown where the line is for the corresponding lanthanide compounds. The metallic radii for the light actinide elements are plotted. The smooth line simply connects Ac to the heavy actinides. In both cases the smooth line represents the ideal tri-valent behavior.
