Single-crystal x-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, heat capacity, and electrical resistivity measurements are reported for the new tetragonal compound Ce₂PdGe₃, which forms in the space group P4₂/mmc (No. 131)—a relative of the α₋ThSi₂-type structure. Measurements reveal a two-part antiferromagnetic phase transition at T_N,1=10.7 K and T_N,2=9.6 K and subsequent ferromagnetlike ordering near TC≈2.25 K. The ordered ground state emerges from a lattice of Ce ions that are hybridized with the conduction electrons, as revealed by the enhanced electronic coefficient of the specific heat γ≈50 mJ/mol-Ce-K² (extrapolated to T=0 for T < T_C). Lastly, electronic structure calculations reveal a Fermi surface that includes sheets with distinct nesting vectors. We find chemical/structural disorder also plays an important role, as evidenced by results from single-crystal x-ray diffraction, the width of the peaks in the heat capacity at T_N and T_C, and the small residual resistivity ratio RRR=ρ300K/ρ0=1.8.
