A “fingerprint” that we believe to be an essential condition for superconductivity is shown by the electronic band structure of the novel phase Ce 9 Br 5 (CBC) 3 . Although the magnetic moment of the Ce 3+ ion quenches superconductivity, the isostructural lanthanum compound is a superconductor at 6 K.
