Pd5Ce3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(2) and six equivalent Pd(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent Pd(1), and two equivalent Pd(2) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
Pd5Ce3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(2) and six equivalent Pd(1) atoms. All Ce(1)-Pd(2) bond lengths are 3.03 Å. There are four shorter (2.96 Å) and two longer (3.55 Å) Ce(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent Pd(1), and two equivalent Pd(2) atoms. Both Pd(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 2.82 Å. Both Pd(1)-Pd(2) bond lengths are 2.81 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
