Using the powder method (DRON-2.0 diffractometer; Fe K/sub ..cap alpha../ radiation; theta/2theta recording method, sin theta/sub max//lambda = 5 nm/sup -1/), the crystal structure of the ternary compounds Pr/sub 1-x/(NiGe)/sub 13/ (x = 0.24), Pr/sub 3/Ni/sub 4/Ge/sub 4/, Pr/sub 1-x/(CoGe)/sub 13/ (x = 0.31), Pr/sub 2/Co/sub 3/Ge/sub 5/, and PrFe/sub 1-x/Ge/sub 3/ (x = 0.46) were determined. The germanides P/sub 1-x/(NiGe)/sub 13/ and Pr/sub 1-x/(NiGe)/sub 13/ belong to the structural type of CeNi/sub 8.5/Si/sub 4.5/ and the ternary compounds Pr/sub 3/Ni/sub 4/Ge/sub 4/, Pr/sub 2/Co/sub 3/Ge/sub 5/, and PrFe/sub 1-x/Ge/sub 3/ crystallize in the structural types of U/sub 3/Ni/sub 4/Si/sub 4/, U/sub 2/Co/sub 3/Si/sub 5/, and BaNiSn/sub 3/. During investigations of the equilibrium phase diagrams of the systems Pr-/Fe, Co, Ni/-Ge, new ternary compounds were discovered, viz., Pr/sub 1-x/(NiGe)/sub 13/ (X = 0.24), Pr/sub 3/Ni/sub 4/Ge/sub 4/, Pr/sub 1-x/(CoGe)/sub 13/ (x = 0.31), Pr/sub 2/Co/sub 3/Ge/sub 5/, PrFe/sub 1-x/Ge/sub 3/ (x = 0.46).
