This paper reports the results of a study of the intermetallic compounds YbA12 and YbA13 with regard to lattice constant, electronic specific heat, superconductivity, magnetic susceptibility and resistivity. The experimental data suggest that the Yb ions in YbAla are close to trivalent and yet, at l
