The unitary irreducible representations of the u{sub q}(2,1) quantum algebra that belong to the intermediate discrete series are considered. The q analog of the Mickelsson-Zhelobenko algebra is developed. Use is made of the U basis corresponding to the reduction u{sub q}(2,1) superset of u{sub q}(2). Explicit formulas for the matrix elements of the generators are obtained in this basis. The projection operator that projects an arbitrary vector onto the extremal vector of the intermediate-series representation is found.
