Praseodymium-based 1-2-20 cage compounds(is generally Ti, V, Nb, Ru, Rh, Ir; andis either Al, Zn, or Cd) provide yet another platform to study nontrivial electronic states of matter ranging from topological and magnetic orders to unconventional multipolar orders and superconductivity. In this paper, we report measurements of the electronic heat capacity in two Pr-based 1-2-20 materials:and. We find that the lowest-energy multiplet of the Prvalence configuration is anon-Kramers doublet and the first excited triplet is assumed to be a magnetic. By analyzing the dependence of the energy splitting between the ground and first excited singlet states on an external magnetic field, we found that the maximum in the heat capacity corresponding to the Schottky anomaly in, unlike, shows a pronounced linear dependence on an external magnetic field at higher field values. This effect is associated with the exchange interactions between the field-induced magnetic dipole moments.
