Ce(PdAs)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd(1) and eight equivalent As(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1), four equivalent Pd(1), and four equivalent As(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing PdCe4As4Pd4 cuboctahedra. As(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1), four equivalent Pd(1), and one As(1) atom.
