Ce3Rh2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. There are three inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Rh(1) atoms. In the second Ce site, Ce(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rh(1) atoms. In the third Ce site, Ce(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Rh(1) atoms. Rh(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Ce(1), two equivalent Ce(2), and five equivalent Ce(3) atoms.
Ce3Rh2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. There are three inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Rh(1) atoms. All Ce(1)-Rh(1) bond lengths are 3.00 Å. In the second Ce site, Ce(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rh(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.88 Å) and three longer (3.11 Å) Ce(2)-Rh(1) bond lengths. In the third Ce site, Ce(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Rh(1) atoms. There are a spread of Ce(3)-Rh(1) bond distances ranging from 2.82-3.25 Å. Rh(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Ce(1), two equivalent Ce(2), and five equivalent Ce(3) atoms.
