Single crystals of Yb-3(Rh1-xTx)(4)Ge-13 (T = Co, Ir) have been grown using the self-flux method. Powder x-ray diffraction data on these compounds are consistent with the cubic structure with space group Pm (3) over barn. Intermediate-valence behavior is observed in Yb-3(Rh1-xTx)(4)Ge-13 upon T = Co doping, while T = Ir doping drives the system into a heavy-fermion state. Antiferromagnetic order is observed in the Ir-doped samples Yb-3(Rh1-xTx)(4)Ge-13 for 0.5 < x <= 1 with T-N = 0.96 K for Yb3Ir4Ge13. With decreasing x, the magnetic order is suppressed towards a quantum critical point around x(c) = 0.5, accompanied by non-Fermi-liquid behavior evidenced by logarithmic divergence of the specific heat and linear temperature dependence of the resistivity. The Fermi-liquid behavior is recovered with the application of large magnetic fields.
