SmCu6In6 crystallizes in the YCu6In6 structure type, tetragonal space group I4/mmm and lattice constants are a = b = 9.2036(3) Å and c = 5.4232(3) Å. SmCu6 − xIn6 + x (x = 0, 1, 2) compounds were obtained using arc melting and characterized using powder X-ray diffraction. Magnetic susceptibility data follow modified Curie-Weiss law behaviour above 50 K and the experimentally measured magnetic moment values in SmCu4In8, SmCu5In7 and SmCu6In6 are 0.83 μ B, 1.45 μ B and 0.90 μ B per Sm atom, respectively. SmCu5In7 and SmCu6In6 compounds show antiferromagnetic ordering at T N = 7.8 K, and no magnetic ordering was observed for SmCu4In8 down to 2 K. Electrical resistivity measurements show that all compounds are of metallic nature. Graphical Abstract Single phase SmCu6-xIn6-x (x = 0, 1 and 2) samples were synthesized using high frequency heat treatment. The compounds were crystallized in the YCu6In6 structure type. Physical properties of the SmCu6-xIn6+x (x = 0, 1 and 2) compounds have shown strong dependence on the copper to indium ratio.
