Abstract
The compound LaNi4Co is isostructural with LaNi5. The distribution of the Co atoms in the 2c and 3g special positions of the space group D6h1-P6/mmm is not random. Deuterisation yields LaNi4CoD4 with structure that belongs to the orthorhombic space group D2h19-Cmmm. The deuterium atoms occupy the 4e and 4h special position of this symmetry. The reduced deuterium content in LaNi4CoD4 as compared with that in LaNi5D 6 is consistent with geometrical considerations and the different symmetries.
