We present correlations between X-ray temperature, luminosity and mass for a sample of distant clusters with z ≥ 0.394 observed with XMM-Newton observatory. Fixing the slope in the L - T correlation at the local value ,α =2.64, we derived that the correlation scales as L ∝ (1+z){1.7 ± 0.3} Tα with z, which confirms that the L - T relation evolves with redshift. Making use of the temperature profiles we calibrated the M-T correlation. The resulting M - T correlation in the 2.0-10.0 keV energy band agrees with the self-similar prediction E(z)M ∝ T3/2. The corrected for E(z) normalization is consistent well with the one derived by Vikhlinin et. al. 2004 for local clusters.
