The crystal structures of the YbAg2In4and CaAg2In4compounds have been determined by means of the single crystal method (DARTCH-1 automatic diffractometer, graphite-monochromatized Mo Kα radiation, θ−2θ scan mode). They belong to a new structure type (space group Im3, Z=24, a=1.5362(3) and 1.5454(4) nm, respectively). Peculiarities of the defects on the silver atom positions in the structures and their relations to the YCd6and YbCd6structures are discussed. The magnetic susceptibility of the YbAg2In4compound follows the Curie–Weiss law in the temperature range 78–293 K. The ytterbium atoms in this compound have an intermediate valence state (μeff=2.3 μB). The CaAg2In4compound is a Pauli paramagnet. The electrical resistivity of the studied compounds, measured between 78 and 360 K, is characteristic of a metallic material.
