Ba₄NbIr₃O₁₂, a material with a triangular planar geometry of Ir₃O₁₂ trimers, is described. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show it to be paramagnetic with no magnetic ordering down to 1.8 K despite the Curie-Weiss temperature (θ_CW) of -13 K. The material has a very low effective magnetic moment (μeff) of 0.80 μ_B/f.u. To look at the lower-temperature behavior, the specific heat (C_p) was measured down to 0.35 K; it shows no indication of magnetic ordering and fitting a power law to C_p vs T below 2 K yields the power α = 3/4. Comparison to the trimer compound made with the 4d element Rh in place of the 5d element Ir, Ba₄NbRh₃O₁₂, which is also paramagnetic (μ_eff = 1.48μ_B/f.u., θ_CW = -23K), is presented. Furthermore, the analysis suggests that Ba₄NbIr₃O₁₂ is a candidate spin liquid material.
