Magnetically ordered

Yields bulk information of macro-sized samples (thin films for determining magnetic ordering)... 

Compounds with Sc, Y, lanthanoids and actinoids are of three types. Those with composition ME have the (6-coordinated) NaCl structure, whereas M3E4 (and sometimes M4E3) adopt the body-centred thorium phosphide structure (Th3P4) with 8-coordinated M, and ME2 are like ThAsi in which each Th has 9 As neighbours. Most of these compounds are metallic and those of uranium are magnetically ordered. Full details of the structures and properties of the several hundred other transition metal-Group 15 element compounds fall outside the scope of this treatment, but three particularly important structure types should be mentioned because of their widespread occurrence and relation to other structure types, namely C0AS3,... 

At the same time, the relatively low energy and ionic character of the chemical bonds between metal and fluorine cause some difficulties in the application of fluoride compounds. First, fluorides typically have a tendency towards thermolysis and hygroscopicity. In addition, fluoride compounds usually display relatively low temperatures of electrostatic and magnetic ordering.

Contrary to other oxidation states most of the compounds of trivalent plutonium that have been investigated show magnetic ordering at low temperatures. 

The rare earths in their dodecaborides have the 3 + oxidation state except for Yb and Tm which have an intermediate valence state. A recoilless y-ray emission spectrum study of TmB,2 shows no magnetic ordering at 1.35 K the spectra of YbB,2 reveal no magnetic structure to 1.35 K. The compounds HoB,2, ErB,2 order antiferromagnetically, and ZrB,2 and LuB,2 become superconducting < 5.8 K and < 0.48 K, respectively. ...
