The crystal structure described by Ce(PdSn)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(1), four equivalent Pd(2), four equivalent Sn(1), and four equivalent Sn(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and four equivalent Sn(2) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1), one Sn(2), and four equivalent Sn(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1) and four equivalent Pd(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and edge-sharing SnCe4Pd4 tetrahedra. In the second Sn site, Sn(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1), one Pd(2), and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
