The intermetallic germanide Gd 2 Pt 1.1 Ge 2.9 was synthesized using an arc-melting method. The crystal structure was characterized using powder x-ray diffraction, revealing a disordered ternary AlB 2 -type structure (space group P 6 / m m m , No. 191) with lattice parameters a = 4.2092 ( 1 ) Å and c = 4.0546 ( 2 ) Å . Physical properties were investigated by magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity measurements, which indicated onset of antiferromagnetic order at T t = 8 K . The obtained properties were compared with the ones reported for other members of the AlB 2 -type Gd 2 T Ge 3 ( T = Ni , Cu, and Pd) family. The magnetic ordering in these compounds was discussed in terms of their crystal structure and the influence of Gd ions.
