Single crystals of UTe 2 were grown by the chemical transport method using iodine as the transport agent. X-ray single crystal diffraction patterns confirmed that UTe 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal structure (space group I m m m (♯ 71)). The magnetic susceptibility is highly anisotropic, reflecting the crystal structure. The effective magnetic moment µ eff = 3.2-3.7 µ B /U, obtained above 150 K, is close to the value of 3.6 µ B /U in the localized 5 f 2 or 5 f 3 configurations.
