CeAlGe crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1md space group. Ce(1) is bonded to six equivalent Al(1) and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing CeAl6Ge6 cuboctahedra. Al(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Al(1) atoms.
CeAlGe crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1md space group. Ce(1) is bonded to six equivalent Al(1) and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing CeAl6Ge6 cuboctahedra. All Ce(1)-Al(1) bond lengths are 3.27 Å. There are four shorter (3.26 Å) and two longer (3.28 Å) Ce(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. Al(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.46 Å) and two longer (2.48 Å) Al(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Al(1) atoms.
