Single crystals of EuCu₂As₂ and EuCu₂Sb₂ were grown from CuAs and CuSb self-flux, respectively. The crystallographic, magnetic, thermal, and electronic transport properties of the single crystals were investigated by room-temperature x-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetic susceptibility χ versus temperature T, isothermal magnetization M versus magnetic field H, specific heat C_p(T), and electrical resistivity ρ(T) measurements. EuCu₂As₂ crystallizes in the body-centered tetragonal ThCr₂Si₂-type structure (space group I4/mmm), whereas EuCu₂Sb₂ crystallizes in the related primitive tetragonal CaBe₂Ge₂-type structure (space group P4/nmm). The energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and XRD data for the EuCu₂Sb₂ crystals showed the presence of vacancies on the Cu sites, yielding the actual composition EuCu_1.82Sb₂. The ρ(T) and C_p(T) data reveal metallic character for both EuCu₂As₂ and EuCu_1.82Sb₂. Antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering is indicated from the χ(T),C_p(T), and ρ(T) data for both EuCu₂As₂ (T_N = 17.5 K) and EuCu_1.82Sb₂ (T_N = 5.1 K). In EuCu_1.82Sb₂, the ordered-state χ(T) and M(H) data suggest either a collinear A-type AFM ordering of Eu⁺² spins S = 7/2 or a planar noncollinear AFM structure, with the ordered moments oriented in the tetragonal ab plane in either case. This ordered-moment orientation for the A-type AFM is consistent with calculations with magnetic dipole interactions. As a result, the anisotropic χ(T) and isothermal M(H) data for EuCu₂As₂, also containing Eu⁺² spins S = 7/2, strongly deviate from the predictions of molecular field theory for collinear AFM ordering and the AFM structure appears to be both noncollinear and noncoplanar.
