Abstract
The low temperature heat capacity and magnetic susceptibilities of LaR hSb, LaPdSb, PrRhSb and PrPdSb have been examined. LaRhSb is a superco nductor with a T(c) of 2.1 K, while LaPdSb is normal down to 0.6 K. Bo th Pr compounds order magnetically. PrRhSb at 6 and 18 K. and PrPdSb a t 10 K. The upper ordering temperature of PrRhSb is probably antiferro magnetic and the lower one may correspond to a spin glass state. Both Pr compounds have unusually large electronic specific heat constant va lues of 35 and 75 mJ mol-1 K-2 for PrRhSb and PrPdSb, respectively.
