Polycrystalline and single crystalline CePtAl samples were synthesized and characterized using EPMA, XRD, XAS and magnetization measurements. The valence of Ce in this compound is trivalent, in agreement with magnetic susceptibility and XAS spectra. The analysis of EXAFS spectra indicates the formation of a honeycomb lattice rather than the disordered hexagonal structure.
