The structure described by CeGeBi2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ge(1), four equivalent Bi(1), and four equivalent Bi(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing CeGe4Bi8 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and four equivalent Bi(1) atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
