The structure described by CeAu3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ce(1) is bonded to four equivalent Au(2) and eight equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing CeAu12 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1), three equivalent Au(1), and three equivalent Au(2) atoms. In the second Au site, Au(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and six equivalent Au(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
