The ternary compound CeIr/sub 3/B/sub 2/ is a mixed-valent material crystallizing in a monoclinic structure, closely related to the hexagonal CeCo/sub 3/B/sub 2/-type structure. The structural and magnetic phase diagrams of the systems CeRh/sub 3-//sub y/Ir/sub y/B/sub 2/ (y = 0--2) and CeIr/sub 3/B/sub 2-//sub x/Si/sub x/ (x = 0--2) have been investigated. Properties of the new compound CeIr/sub 3/Si/sub 2/ have been reported for the first time. It is shown that the structure of CeIr/sub 3/B/sub 2/ transforms to the hexagonal type on substitution of Rh and Si at Ir and B sites, respectively. Accompanying the structural transformation is an electronic transition in which the mixed-valent Ce atoms become more magnetic. The observed ferromagnetic ground state is similar to the one seen in CeRh/sub 3/B/sub 2/ (T/sub C/ = 115 K and ..mu../sub sat/ = 0.4..mu../sub B/). The role of Ce-atom ligands and their hybridization is thought to be the primary cause for the unusual nature magnetism in CeT/sub 3/B/sub 2/-type compounds.
