The compound described by CeNi3Zn2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni(1) and six equivalent Zn(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing NiCe4Zn4 cuboctahedra. Zn(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
