The ternary antimonides Ln{sub 3}Pd{sub 8}Sb{sub 4} (Ln=Y, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm) have been synthesized for the first time. The crystal structure of Er{sub 3}Pd{sub 8}Sb{sub 4} has been solved from the X-ray single crystal data: own type structure, space group Fm3-bar m, a=1.3050(1) nm, R{sub F}=0.0484, R{sub W}=0.0524 for 17 free parameters and 401 reflections with F(hkl)>4{sigma}(F). The structure of Er{sub 3}Pd{sub 8}Sb{sub 4} can be viewed as a ternary ordered version of the Sc{sub 11}Ir{sub 4}-type. The lattice parameters of the isotypic compounds Ln{sub 3}Pd{sub 8}Sb{sub 4} (Ln=Y, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Tm) have been refined from the X-ray powder diffraction data. The magnetic and electrical properties of the compounds Ln{sub 3}Pd{sub 8}Sb{sub 4} (Ln=Tb, Ho, Er) have been studied down to 1.75 K. The Ho- and Er-based phases have been found to order antiferromagnetically at 2.5 and 2.0 K, respectively. For all three compounds, the magnetic susceptibility follows in the paramagnetic region the Curie-Weiss behavior with the effective magnetic moments close to the respective free trivalent ion values. All three antimonides studied exhibit metallic character of the electrical conductivity. - Graphical abstract: Projection of the crystal structure of Er{sub 3}Pd{sub 8}Sb{sub 4} onto XY plane and the coordination polyhedra of all the atoms.
