Abstract
A COMPOUND near the CeMg9 stoichiometric region in the cerium–magnesium system was indexed as cubic from X-ray powder patterns and was claimed to be two phases1. An examination2 of structures of this approximate stoichiometry indicated that this would represent a new structure if it existed; consequently a structure determination using single crystal techniques was undertaken. Although a subsequent report3 utilizing only powder data indicated a more probable hexagonal cell and isomorphism with the Th2Ni17 structure, our preliminary single-crystal data lead to a different result.
