Kagome materials provide fruitful grounds for exploring the intersection of topology and magnetism. In this article, the single crystal growth of Yb_0.5(Co_1–xFe_x)₃Ge₃ (x = 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00) is reported. As Fe is substituted into the Co-containing kagome net, the structure transforms from the disordered Y_0.5Co₃Ge₃/CoSn-type hybrid structure to the ordered HfFe₆Ge₆-type structure. Diffusive scattering is observed in all doped concentrations that eventually converge to a single reflection in the Fe end member, ultimately doubling the unit cell along the c-axis. Anisotropic magnetic measurements were performed to evaluate how the magnetism of the kagome lattice is influenced by Fe substitution. Magnetic interactions are primarily observed along the c-axis. Additionally, a reorientation of the magnetic easy axis is observed with increasing Fe incorporation, highlighting how the magnetism of this material can be chemically tuned. Resistivity with unusual behavior observed in the doped compositions is also reported. Furthermore, the rationale behind the structural evolution from disordered to ordered is discussed.
