Single crystals of Ce2RhGa12 have been synthesized using Ga flux and their structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Ce2RhGa12 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/nbm (No. 125), and is isostructural to Ce2PdGa12, with Z = 2 and lattice parameters a = 6.0405 A and c = 15.706 A. Data were collected at the Swiss Norwegian Beam Line at the European Synchrotron Facility, Grenoble, France. Laue diffraction was carried out to confirm the quality of the single crystal and showed well-defined spots and tetragonal symmetry.
