The germanides  RE  3 Pt 4 Ge 6  ( RE =Y, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd–Dy) have been synthesized by arc-melting of the elements followed by inductive annealing to improve the crystallinity and allow for structural order. The compounds have been studied by powder X-ray diffraction; additionally the structure of Y 3 Pt 4 Ge 6  has been refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data. It exhibits a (3+1)D modulated structure, indicating isotypism with Ce 3 Pt 4 Ge 6 . The crystal structure can be described as an intergrowth between YIrGe 2 - and CaBe 2 Ge 2 -type slabs along [100]. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements showed Pauli paramagnetism for Y 3 Pt 4 Ge 6  and Curie-Weiss paramagnetism for Pr 3 Pt 4 Ge 6  and Nd 3 Pt 4 Ge 6 . Sm 3 Pt 4 Ge 6  exhibits van Vleck paramagnetism, while antiferromagnetic ordering at  T  N =8.1(1) K and  T  N =11.0(1) K is observed for Gd 3 Pt 4 Ge 6  and Tb 3 Pt 4 Ge 6 , respectively.
