The crystal structure of the phase Ce,Cd,, was determined by single-crystal
X-ray diffraction. It is closely related to, and indeed probably identical
to, the previously reported compound CeCd6. The compound crystallizes in t
he centrosymmetric space group Pn (3) over bar with the unit cell axis 15.8
08(2) Angstrom. The structure may be described by successive shells centere
d around the origin and the position (1/2 1/2 1/2). (C) 2000 Elsevier Scien
