The compound described by Ce3I crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent I(1) atoms. I(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ce(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing ICe12 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
