Cerium-based compounds crystallizing in the cubic Ce${}_{3}{X}_{4}\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}{T}_{3}$ ($X$=Bi, Sb and $T$=transition metal) structure present a wide variety of semiconducting ground states ranging from a conventional band gap in Ce${}_{3}$Sb${}_{4}$Au${}_{3}$ to prototypical Kondo insulating behavior in Ce${}_{3}$Bi${}_{4}$Pt${}_{3}$. The variation in physical properties among members stems from the delicate interplay between the …
