Abstract A new ternary boride RCo12B6 with a rhombohedral structure was synthesized by arc-melting in R-Co-B system, where R is a rare earth ion. From magnetic measurements, it was found that CeCo12B6 had a Curie temperature at 130°–140°K and exhibited a Curie–Weiss behavior in the paramagnetic region above 140°K.
