Photoemission studies with varying degrees of surface sensitivity are reported for the Ce 3{ital d} core-level and Ce 4{ital f} valence-band regions of the {alpha}-like Ce compounds CeIr{sub 2}, CePd{sub 3}, and CeRh{sub 3}. In all cases studied, strong changes of the 4{ital f} electronic structure at the surface towards a more localized {gamma}-like behavior are observed, requiring a reanalysis of previously reported photoemission spectra of {alpha}-like Ce compounds. Implications for an improved understanding of the surface-catalytic properties of Ce systems, as well as of the surface-electronic structure of narrow-band materials, are pointed out.
