[en] The crystal electric field (CEF) effects lead to exotic behaviour in some of the Pr-compounds. Superconductivity in heavy fermion PrOs₄Sb₁₂ is mediated by quadrupolar fluctuations involving low lying crystal field excitations. In our search for novel and interesting Pr-compounds we have synthesized PrT₂X₂, PrTGe₃ and Pr₂T₃Ge₅ series of compounds. Some of these compounds order magnetically while others do not. We present highlights of our recent results on Pr-compounds. Notable among these are anomalously high T_N and strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy in PrRh₂Si₂, large magnetoresistance in Pr₂Pd₃Ge₅ and excitonic mass enhancement in Pr₂Rh₃Ge₅
