CePdSb crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. Ce(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(1) and six equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing CeSb6Pd6 cuboctahedra. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Sb(1) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
CePdSb crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. Ce(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(1) and six equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing CeSb6Pd6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (3.12 Å) and three longer (3.57 Å) Ce(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths. There are three shorter (3.27 Å) and three longer (3.40 Å) Ce(1)-Sb(1) bond lengths. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Sb(1) atoms. All Pd(1)-Sb(1) bond lengths are 2.70 Å. Sb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
