The structure and magnetic properties of R{sub 3}Co{sub 11}B{sub 4} compounds, where R = Y and Gd are investigated. X-ray analysis reveals that the R{sub 3}Co{sub 11}B{sub 4} alloys crystallize in the hexagonal Ce{sub 3}Co{sub 11}B{sub 4} structure. The unit cell of the structure contains 18 atoms. The rare earth atoms are distributed in two different crystallographic sites, the Co atoms in three different positions and B is located in one type of site. The lattice constants, Curie temperature and saturation magnetization at 4.2 K are determined. The mean field approximation yields a 4f-3d exchange integral of J{sub RCo}/k{sub B} = {minus}20.9 K. The properties of these compounds are compared with those of R-Co alloys.
