The structures of two new rare-earth aluminum germanides, Sm{sub 2}AlGe{sub 3} and Tb{sub 2}AlGe{sub 3}, were determined from X-ray powder diffraction data (R {sub B} = 0.066 and 0.064, respectively). These R{sub 2}AlGe{sub 3} compounds crystallize with orthorhombic structures of the Y{sub 2}AlGe{sub 3} type, oP24 (62) Pnma - c {sup 6}, a = 6.8153(4), b = 4.2723(3), c = 17.9491(10) A (R = Sm) and a = 6.7749(4), b = 4.1980(3), c = 17.7222(10) A (R = Tb), Z = 4. Two-thirds of the Ge atoms are situated at the centers of R{sub 6} trigonal prisms, whereas the other Ge atoms occupy the centers of R{sub 4} tetrahedra. Four other compounds are known to crystallize with the same structure type, R = Dy, Ho, Er and Tm, but Sm{sub 2}AlGe{sub 3} is the first example of an isotypic compound where R is a light rare-earth element.
