inorganic compounds
The structure of cerium diruthenium decaaluminium, CeRu2Al10, is characterized by seven crystallographic sites in space group Cmcm, viz. Ce in 4c, Ru in 8a, two Al atoms in 8g, two Al atoms in 8f and one Al atom in 8e. The structure can be interpreted as a stacking of alternating columns running along [001], each formed by only one type of Ru cuboid with composition RuAl6 or CeRuAl4.
inorganic compounds
The intermetallic compound, cerium palladium indide, Ce20Pd36In67, crystallizes in a new structure type in which atoms have significantly distorted polyhedra with coordination numbers CN 15-18 for Ce and CN 8-13 for Pd and In.
