Abstract
For Pr-based filled skutterudite compound, we propose a hexadecapole order without breaking local symmetry. It is shown that the hexadecapole ordered state appears in the case that the ground state of Pr-ion is Γ 1 singlet, and conduction electrons hybridize with f-electron principally belonging to Γ 5 irreducible representation in T h point group. The hexadecapole transition seems to be consistent with metal–insulator transition of PrRu 4 P 12 .
