The compound described by CeLa(MnSi)4 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Mn(1) and eight equivalent Si(1) atoms. La(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Mn(1) and eight equivalent Si(2) atoms. Mn(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent La(1), two equivalent Si(1), and two equivalent Si(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner, face, and edge-sharing MnLa2Ce2Si4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1), four equivalent Mn(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the second Si site, Si(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1), four equivalent Mn(1), and one Si(2) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
