The material structure described by Ce3SnO8 is Fluorite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. There are two inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to one O(1), one O(3), three equivalent O(2), and three equivalent O(4) atoms. In the second Ce site, Ce(2) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent O(4) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(3) atoms. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Ce(1) and three equivalent Ce(2) atoms to form OCe4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one O(3)CeSn3 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent O(2)Ce3Sn tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent O(4)Ce4 tetrahedra, corners with nine equivalent O(1)Ce4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent O(1)Ce4 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent O(4)Ce4 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to three equivalent Ce(1) and one Sn(1) atom to form OCe3Sn tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent O(1)Ce4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent O(4)Ce4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent O(3)CeSn3 tetrahedra, corners with seven equivalent O(2)Ce3Sn tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent O(4)Ce4 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent O(3)CeSn3 tetrahedra. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to one Ce(1) and three equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form OCeSn3 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one O(1)Ce4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent O(2)Ce3Sn tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent O(4)Ce4 tetrahedra, corners with nine equivalent O(3)CeSn3 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent O(2)Ce3Sn tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent O(3)CeSn3 tetrahedra. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded to one Ce(2) and three equivalent Ce(1) atoms to form OCe4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent O(2)Ce3Sn tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent O(1)Ce4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent O(3)CeSn3 tetrahedra, corners with seven equivalent O(4)Ce4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent O(2)Ce3Sn tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent O(1)Ce4 tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
