The new compound UFe/sub 4/P/sub 12/, which was found to be isostructural to superconducting LaFe/sub 4/P/sub 12/ and have a lattice constant of 7.7729 A, is a semiconductor and shows ferromagnetic order below 3.15 K. CeFe/sub 4/P/sub 12/ is also a semiconductor, and its magnetic susceptibility is unusually small in comparison to LaFe/sub 4/P/sub 12/. The semiconducting behaviors of both UFe/sub 4/P/sub 12/ and CeFe/sub 4/P/sub 12/ seem anomalous and may arise from strong f-electron hybridization.
