N2 - The A1B2 type hexagonal structure was studied in the EuMxSi1-x system, for M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ag and Au. Only EuCu0.5Si1.5 and EuAg0.67Si1.33 crystallize as single phases. The Mössbauer spectrum of EuCu0.5Si1.5 shows europium to be divalent. Valence electron concentration and packing of the layers in the LnCuxSi2-s and LnAgxSi2-x systems is discussed. Higher stability of the EuCuxSi2-x and EaAgxSi2-x compounds is explained by the close similarity in size of Cu and Ag to Si.
