We report the synthesis and crystal structure of the carbide Gd(13)Fe(10)C(13). This compound adopts a new structure type that is remarkable for its "H"-shaped C(2)FeFeC(2) units, which have some of the shortest Fe-Fe contacts known. A bonding analysis using DFT-calibrated Hückel calculations hints that Fe-Fe multiple bonding underlies these short distances. Gd(13)Fe(10)C(13) undergoes ferromagnetic ordering at ∼55 K.
