The material structure described by CePt5Ge3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 17-coordinate geometry to one Pt(3), one Pt(5), three equivalent Pt(1), three equivalent Pt(2), three equivalent Pt(4), two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are five inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt(5) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ce(1), one Pt(3), two equivalent Pt(1), one Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the second Pt site, Pt(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent Pt(5), three equivalent Pt(4), one Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Pt site, Pt(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent Pt(3), one Ge(3), and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the fourth Pt site, Pt(3) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Ce(1), one Pt(5), two equivalent Pt(2), two equivalent Pt(3), one Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the fifth Pt site, Pt(4) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1), three equivalent Pt(1), one Ge(3), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(1), one Pt(5), three equivalent Pt(1), and three equivalent Pt(4) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(1), one Pt(1), one Pt(3), two equivalent Pt(5), and three equivalent Pt(2) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(1), one Pt(2), one Pt(4), two equivalent Pt(5), and three equivalent Pt(3) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
