Polycrystalline samples of the intermetallic compounds La{sub 2}MnGe{sub 6}, Ce{sub 2}MnGe{sub 6}, La{sub 2}CuGe{sub 6}, Ce{sub 2}CuGe{sub 6}, and R{sub 2}NiGe{sub 6} (R = Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho), which belong to the Ce{sub 2}CuGe{sub 6} type of structure (Amm2 or Cm2m space group), were studied by means of the electrical resistivity and differential thermopower measurements. They exhibit the metallic-like behavior in the temperature range from 5 to 290 K. The peculiarities in both resistivity and thermopower temperature dependencies correlate with corresponding magnetic transition T{sub tr} temperatures.
