CePdSb is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. There are two inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(1) and six equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing CeSb6Pd6 cuboctahedra. In the second Ce site, Ce(2) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(1) and six equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing CeSb6Pd6 cuboctahedra. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1), three equivalent Ce(2), and three equivalent Sb(1) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1), three equivalent Ce(2), and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
