Abstract
This paper reviews the recent synthesis and characterization of quaternary solid-state compounds that contain three metal elements from different major blocks of the Periodic Table, namely an s-block alkali- or alkaline-earth metal, an f-block lanthanide or scandium, and a p-block main-group metal or a d-block transition metal. The rich structural chemistry of such compounds is discussed.
