It is known that an intermetallic, Zr2Co adopting an Al2Cu-type crystal structure, exhibits superconductivity at Tc = 5.6 K and can enable topotactic hydrogen insertion. Although hydrogen insertion into alloys/intermetallics of transition metal often prevents ordering of magnetic spin, Matar has theoretically predicted ferromagnetic spin ordering in Zr2CoH5 based on Stoner conditions [Matar, S. F., Intermetallics 2013, 36, 25]. We confirmed intercalation/deintercalation of hydrogen into Zr2Co at ∼300 °C, keeping the parent Al2Cu-type structure. We have succeeded in experimentally identifying a ferromagnetic transition in Zr2CoH4.8 at Tc = 128 K, as well as superconductivity in Zr2Co. The magnetization at 2 K was ∼0.3μB, although it did not saturate up to 5.5 kOe, even at 2 K. On the basis of analysis of magnetization curves, we confirmed the weak itinerant ferromagnetism of Zr2CoH4.8 derived from spin fluctuation. This hydride has an isolated Co chain running along the tetragonal c axis with a dCo–Co intr...
