We report magnetic and transport properties of a quaternary borocarbide ${\text{PrRh}}_{2}{\text{B}}_{2}\text{C}$ based on magnetization, resistivity, and specific-heat studies. This compound forms in ${\text{LuNi}}_{2}{\text{B}}_{2}\text{C}$-type tetragonal structure (space group $I4/mmm$) and does not exhibit magnetic ordering or superconductivity down to 0.5 K. The crystal-field analysis of specific-heat data suggests a singlet ground …
