Abstract
The ternary compounds Yb2T2In (T = Cu, Pd and Au) have been synthesized. Th e indides Yb2Au2In and Yb2Pd2In crystallize in the Mo2FeB2 structure type, while Yb2Cu2In proved to be isotypic with the W2CoB2 structure. Magnetic, r esistivity and specific heat measurements revealed no magnetic order for an y of the compounds but, while in Yb2Cu2In and Yb2Au2. In the valence of Yb was observed to be nu = 2, Yb2Pd2In exhibits intermediate valence behavior. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
