Abstract The title compounds were prepared by reaction of the elemental components at high temperatures. They crystallize with a new structure type which was determined from single‐crystal X‐ray data of Tm 13 Ni 25 As 19 : P 6, a = 1621.9(4) pm, c = 387.78(8) pm, Z = 1, R = 0.025 for 3164 structure factors and 119 variable parameters. The refinement of the occupancy parameters suggested a mixed Tm/Ni occupancy for one metal position and defects for one nickel site resulting in the composition Tm 12.57(1) Ni 25.22(2) As 19 . These arsenides belong to a large structural family with a metal to metalloid ratio of 2 : 1.
