A number of superstructure reflections (h/2 k/2 l/2) with h, k, l = 2n + 1 are observed in the intermediate phase II of CeB6 by resonant X-ray scattering at the L-II and L-III absorption edges of Ce. This gives evidence of a zero-field ordering with wave vector k(0) = 2 pi /a [1/2 1/2 1/2]. The intensities of the reflections (5/2 1/2 1/2), (5/2 3/2 3/2) and (7/2 1/2 1/2) in nonresonant conditions, where reliable calculations can be made, are consistent neither with the Jahn-Teller pair distortion nor with the Gamma (3) quadrupolar ordering proposed in the literature as possible zero-field ordering mechanisms. Apparently, the rs quadrupolar ordering accompanied by displacements of the boron atoms should also be considered, but the experimental data do not allow to draw definite conclusions.
