Abstract
The crystal structure of the novel compound Yb 3Pt 23Si 11 has been determined from powder X-ray diffraction data to be isotypic with cubic Ce 3Pt 23Si 11 (space group F m 3 ¯ m ; a = 1.68052(5) nm). Magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity and heat capacity measurements, performed down to 0.4 K, revealed that Yb 3Pt 23Si 11 is a moderately enhanced paramagnetic compound with fairly unstable 4 f electronic shell.
