The material structure described by Yb(CeS2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. Yb(1) is bonded to eight equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted YbS8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with eight equivalent Ce(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent Yb(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids, and faces with eight equivalent Ce(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids. Ce(1) is bonded to eight equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted CeS8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent Yb(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with four equivalent Ce(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent Ce(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids, faces with four equivalent Yb(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids, and faces with four equivalent Ce(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids. S(1) is bonded to two equivalent Yb(1) and four equivalent Ce(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing SYb2Ce4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 17-50°. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
