Crystal structures and physical properties of four families of Al-rich ternary uranium compounds with transition metals (TE) are reviewed, namely UTE ₂Al₂₀, UTE ₂Al₁₀, U₆ TE ₄Al₄₃, and U₃ TE ₄Al₁₂. The compounds can be described as consisting of 1 (isolated), 2 (dumbbells) or 3 (triangles) uranium atom clusters, surrounded (1–2–20, 1–2–10 and 6–4–43) or not (3–4–12) by large cages, which strongly influence their magnetic and related properties. Indeed, the ground states of the described systems evolve from Curie-like paramagnetism in the case of the phases with well-isolated, single U-atoms, to complex magnetic order or possible frustrated magnetism in the case of the systems with uranium triangles forming a breathing kagome lattice. We argue that the four families of uranium aluminides described in this review provide a unique opportunity to study magnetic interactions between U magnetic moments while gradually increasing the number of their nearest magnetic neighbors, and may also be helpful in understanding the fundamental origin of magnetic freezing phenomena.
