The material structure described by Ce2Co3Ge5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ima2 space group. There are two inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce(1) is bonded in a 17-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Co(2), three equivalent Co(3), one Ge(3), two equivalent Ge(1), three equivalent Ge(4), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the second Ce site, Ce(2) is bonded in a 17-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Co(3), three equivalent Co(2), one Ge(4), two equivalent Ge(1), three equivalent Ge(3), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent Ce(2), two equivalent Ge(3), and two equivalent Ge(4) atoms. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(1), three equivalent Ce(2), one Ge(3), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the third Co site, Co(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(2), three equivalent Ce(1), one Ge(4), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are four inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent Ce(2), two equivalent Co(2), and two equivalent Co(3) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent Ce(2), one Co(2), one Co(3), one Ge(3), and one Ge(4) atom. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ce(1), three equivalent Ce(2), one Co(2), two equivalent Co(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. In the fourth Ge site, Ge(4) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Ce(2), three equivalent Ce(1), one Co(3), two equivalent Co(1), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
