Abstract
Complex metallic alloys belong to the vast family of intermetallic compounds and are hallmarked by extremely large unit cells and, in many cases, extensive crystallographic disorder. Early studies of complex intermetallics were focusing on the elucidation of their crystal structures and classification of the underlying building principles. More recently, ab initio computational analysis and detailed examination of the physical properties have become feasible and opened new perspectives for these materials. The present review paper provides a summary of the literature data on the reported compositions with exceptional structural complexity and their properties, and highlights the factors leading to the emergence of their crystal structures and the methods of characterization and systematization of these compounds.

Abstract
We present Raman spectra of numerous icosahedral boron-rich solids having the structure of α-rhombohedral, β-rhombohedral, α-tetragonal, β-tetragonal, YB66, orthorhombic or amorphous boron. The spectra were newly measured and, in some cases, compared with reported data and discussed. We emphasize the importance of a high signal-to-noise ratio in the Raman spectra for detecting weak effects evoked by the modification of compounds, accommodation of interstitial atoms and other structural defects. Vibrations of the icosahedra, occurring in all the spectra, are interpreted using the description of modes in α-rhombohedral boron by Beckel et al. The Raman spectrum of boron carbide is largely clarified. Relative intra- and inter-icosahedral bonding forces are estimated for the different structural groups and for vanadium-doped β-rhombohedral boron. The validity of Badger's rule is demonstrated for the force constants of inter-icosahedral B-B bonds, whereas the agreement is less satisfactory for the intra-icosahedral B-B bonds.

Abstract
Single crystals of two modifications of the new magnesium boride carbide MgB(12)C(2) were synthesized from the elements in a metallic melt by using tantalum ampoules. Crystals were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe analysis (energy-dispersive (EDX) and wavelength-dispersive (WDX) X-ray spectroscopy). Orthorhombic MgB(12)C(2) is formed in a Cu/Mg melt at 1873 K. The crystal structure of o-MgB(12)C(2) (Imma, Z=4, a=5.6133(10), b=9.828(2), c=7.9329(15) A, 574 reflections, 42 variables, R(1)(F)=0.0208, wR(2)(I)=0.0540) consists of a hexagonal primitive array of B(12) icosahedra with Mg atoms and C(2) units in trigonal-prismatic voids. Each icosahedron has six exohedral B--B and six B--C bonds. Carbon is tetrahedrally coordinated by three boron atoms and one carbon atom with a remarkably long C--C distance of 1.727 A. Monoclinic MgB(12)C(2) is formed in an Al/Mg melt at 1573 K. The structure of m-MgB(12)C(2) (C2/c, Z=4, a=7.2736(11), b=8.7768(13), c=7.2817(11) A, beta=105.33(3) degrees , 1585 reflections, 71 variables, R(1)(F)=0.0228, wR(2)(I)=0.0610) may be described as a distorted cubic close arrangement of B(12) icosahedra. Tetrahedral voids are filled by C atoms and octahedral voids are occupied by Mg atoms. The icosahedra are interconnected by four exohedral B--B bonds to linear chains and by eight interstitial C atoms to form a three-dimensional covalent network. Both compounds fulfill the electron-counting rules of Wade and Longuet-Higgins.
