The crystal structure of the new ternary boride CePt3B, tetragonal, space group P4mm (N99), a=4.00433(18) Å, c=5.07547(7) Å, Z=1, V=81.383(5) Å3was determined ab initio from X-ray powder diffraction using conventional and synchrotron radiation, optical metallographic examination and electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA). Rietveld refinement on the sample with composition Ce20Pd60B20revealed the presence of two phases, 95% of cubic CePd3Bx, x=0.6 (space group Pm-3m, CaTiO3str. type, a=4.19350(11) Å) and 5% of CeB6(space group Pm-3m, CaB6str. type, a=4.1389(2) Å). Magnetic susceptibility measurements and X-ray absorption spectroscopy show that Ce is in a trivalent state in CePt3B and that the compound does not order magnetically at 2 K.
