The crystal structure described by Ce5PdGe2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. There are five inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Ce(1), two equivalent Pd(1), one Ge(1), one Ge(3), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Ce site, Ce(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1), one Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the third Ce site, Ce(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1), one Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the fourth Ce site, Ce(4) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1), one Ge(3), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the fifth Ce site, Ce(5) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ge(3), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ce(3), two equivalent Ce(2), two equivalent Ce(4), and four equivalent Ce(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ce(3), two equivalent Ce(2), two equivalent Ce(5), and four equivalent Ce(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ce(5), two equivalent Ce(2), two equivalent Ce(4), and four equivalent Ce(1) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ce(5), two equivalent Ce(3), two equivalent Ce(4), and four equivalent Ce(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
