Cover illustration: Part of the crystal structure of ethyl 5-amino-1-(4-chloro­phen­yl)-1H-imidazole-4-carbox­yl­ate, showing the formation of a hydrogen-bonded chain along [001]. For the sake of clarity, H atoms not involved in the motifs shown have been omitted and only one orientation of the disordered ethyl group is shown.

Tb2Ni2Mg3 is a new structure type, derived from Ru3Al2B2, which can be viewed as the first representative of a homologous linear structure series based on the α-Fe, CsCl and AlB2 structure types. The Tb atoms in the structure are enclosed in 17-vertex polyhedra, while rhombododeca­hedra and distorted rhombododeca­hedra surround the Mg atoms, and equatorially tricapped trigonal prisms form around the Ni atoms.
