The material structure described by CePd5Ge3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 17-coordinate geometry to one Pd(1), one Pd(3), three equivalent Pd(2), three equivalent Pd(4), three equivalent Pd(5), two equivalent Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are five inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Ce(1), one Pd(3), two equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent Pd(4), one Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1), one Ge(2), and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Pd site, Pd(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ce(1), one Pd(1), one Ge(1), two equivalent Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the fourth Pd site, Pd(4) is bonded to three equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent Pd(1), one Ge(3), and three equivalent Ge(2) atoms to form distorted face-sharing PdCe3Ge4Pd2 tetrahedra. In the fifth Pd site, Pd(5) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(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 Pd(3), three equivalent Pd(2), and three equivalent Pd(5) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(1), one Pd(1), one Pd(2), two equivalent Pd(3), and three equivalent Pd(4) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(1), one Pd(4), one Pd(5), two equivalent Pd(3), and three equivalent Pd(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
