Abstract: Single crystals of the MgZn2Ce alloy (magnesium dizinc cerium) were synthesized by a two-step method which couples the thermal treatment of pressed pellets of the pure elements with subsequent arc melting. The compound crystallizes in a Heusler-type (MnCu2Al) structure in the space group Fm
m, with one Zn site (site symmetry 
3m), one Ce and one Mg site (both with mm site symmetry). All interatomic distances indicate metallic type bonding.
