Ce(PtP)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pt(1), four equivalent Pt(2), four equivalent P(1), and four equivalent P(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1), one P(1), and four equivalent P(2) atoms. In the second Pt site, Pt(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and four equivalent P(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1), one Pt(1), four equivalent Pt(2), and one P(1) atom. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and four equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
