The isothermal section of the phase diagram of the ternary system Ce-Ti-Sn was constructed in the whole concentration range at 600°C by means of X-ray powder diffraction. The binary compounds of the systems Ce-Sn and Ti-Sn dissolve negligible amounts of the third component. Two ternary compounds, CeTi 6 Sn 4 and ~Ce 3 TiSn 5 , were found. The crystal structure of the compound CeTi 6 Sn 4 belongs to the structure type ZrFe 6 Ge 4 (Pearson symbol hR33, space group R-3m, a = 5.8101(11), c = 22.971(5) Å). It completes the row of isotypic RTi 6 Sn 4 compounds with ZrFe 6 Ge 4-type structure (R = Y, LaNd , Sm, Gd-Tm, Lu).
