The compound described by Ce5GeBi2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are four inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and three equivalent Bi(1) atoms. In the second Ce site, Ce(2) is bonded to one Ge(1) and four equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CeGeBi4 square pyramids. In the third Ce site, Ce(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and four equivalent Bi(1) atoms. In the fourth Ce site, Ce(4) is bonded to one Ge(1) and four equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CeGeBi4 trigonal bipyramids. Ge(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Ce(2), one Ce(4), two equivalent Ce(3), and four equivalent Ce(1) atoms. Bi(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(2), two equivalent Ce(3), two equivalent Ce(4), and three equivalent Ce(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
