 Abstract: We synthesized polycrystalline samples of CeRh6Si4 and investigated its physical properties by means of magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and electrical resistivity measurements as well as LIII X-ray absorption spectroscopy. All results evidence an intermediate-valent (IV) Ce state with a valence close to 3.2 and a characteristic energy of about 300 K. Accordingly, we observe a Fermi liquid ground state at low temperatures with a slightly enhanced Sommerfeld coefficient γ = 28 mJ/molK2. Using presently available data on different compounds, we analyze the evolution of the Ce valence in the Ce-Rh-Si ternary phase diagram. The expected correlation with the distance to nearest Ce-ligands can be discerned. Thus, the evolution from a trivalent Ce3+ state in CeRh3Si2 to an IV state in CeRh6Si4 is related to a shortening of both the Ce-Rh and Ce-Si bonds in the first coordination sphere of Ce.
