The material structure described by CePdZn crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6 space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Pd(1), two equivalent Pd(2), two equivalent Pd(3), and six equivalent Zn(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1) and six equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the third Pd site, Pd(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1), one Pd(2), one Pd(3), and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
