The crystal structure described by CeGa3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ce(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ga(1) and eight equivalent Ga(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing CeGa12 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and six equivalent Ga(2) atoms. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1), three equivalent Ga(1), and three equivalent Ga(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
