Solution growth of single crystals of the recently reported new compoundCe2PdIn8 was investigated. When growing from a stoichiometry in a range 2:1:20- 2:1:35, single crystals of CeIn3 covered by a thin (~50 um)single-crystalline layer of Ce2PdIn8 were mostly obtained. Using palladiumricher compositions the thickness of the Ce2PdIn8 layers were increased, whichallowed mechanical extraction of single-phase slabs of the desired compoundsuitable for a thorough study of magnetism and superconductivity. In somesolution growth products also CePd3In6 (LaNi3In6 - type of structure) andtraces of phases with the stoichiometry CePd2In7, Ce1.5Pd1.5In7 (determinedonly by EDX) have been identified. Magnetic measurements of the Ce2PdIn8 singlecrystals reveal paramagnetic behaviour of the Ce3+ ions with significantmagnetocrystalline anisotropy. Above 70 K the magnetic susceptibility followsthe Curie-Weiss law with considerably different values of the paramagneticCurie temperature, for the magnetic field applied along the a- (-90 K) andc-(-50 K) axis. Below the reported critical temperature for superconductivityTc (0.69 K) the electrical resistivity drops to zero. Comparative measurementsof the electrical resistivity, heat capacity and AC susceptibility of severalcrystals reveal that the superconducting transition is stronglysample-dependent.
