The magnetic susceptibilities of 25 isotypic lanthanoid (Ln) compounds Ln2Fe12P7and Ln2Co12P7were determined with a Faraday balance between 15 K and room temperature. The magnetism of the iron compounds is dominated by the magnetic properties of the Ln atoms, while the iron atoms essentially carry no magnetic moments. In contrast, all cobalt compounds order ferromagnetically with Curie temperatures (for the compounds with the trivalent lanthanoids) of betweenTc= 142 K (Pr2Co12P7) and Tc= 160 K (Ho2Co12P7). The magnetic moment per Co atom (determined from the magnetic behaviour of Lu2Fe12P7) isμexp= 1.14 ± 0.02μB. The Ce atoms in Ce2Fe12P7(nearly Pauli paramagnetic) and Ce2Co12P7(ferromagnetic,Tc= 48 K) are at least almost tetravalent. The magnetic properties and ordering temperatures of these phosphides are discussed considering the magnetic moments and the arrangement of the lanthanoid atoms in the Zr2Fe12P7type structure. The highest Curie temperatures were observed for those compounds where the lanthanoid atoms have the highest magnetic moments. Neither Ce2Fe12P7nor Lu2Fe12P7become superconducting down to 1.7 K.
