The paper examines the possibility of heteronuclear compounds at high density and variations which can take advantage of the nuclear binding energy. Baryon number density and Z and A values for nuclides determine lattice spacing, and the nuclear mass energy, free electron Fermi energy, and Coulomb lattice energy are obtained. These are the primary determinants of the atomic tenants of lattice sites as the density rises. A mixed lattice exploits the balance between nuclear and Coulomb energies, and different phases of the lattice appear at different density regions. Face-centered, simple cubic, body-centered, and hexagonal close-packed lattices are considered. The electrons are first assumed to be a uniform background; qualitative features are found to remain the same when screening and exchange effects are included. The results may have a role in the study of white dwarfs and nuclear stars.
