The material structure described by Mg14CeC crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. There are seven inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mg(2), two equivalent Mg(6), four equivalent Mg(4), and four equivalent Mg(5) atoms to form corner-sharing MgMg12 cuboctahedra. In the second Mg site, Mg(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(1), four equivalent Mg(4), and four equivalent Mg(5) atoms. In the third Mg site, Mg(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Mg(6), two equivalent Ce(1), and one C(1) atom. In the fourth Mg site, Mg(4) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(1), two equivalent Mg(2), two equivalent Mg(4), two equivalent Mg(5), and two equivalent Mg(6) atoms. In the fifth Mg site, Mg(5) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Mg(1), one Mg(2), one Mg(4), two equivalent Mg(6), and one Ce(1) atom. In the sixth Mg site, Mg(6) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to one Mg(1), two equivalent Mg(3), two equivalent Mg(4), two equivalent Mg(7), four equivalent Mg(5), and one Ce(1) atom. In the seventh Mg site, Mg(7) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Mg(6), two equivalent Ce(1), and one C(1) atom. Ce(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(6), four equivalent Mg(3), four equivalent Mg(5), four equivalent Mg(7), and two equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg(3), two equivalent Mg(7), and two equivalent Ce(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
