CeMgNi4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms. Ce(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Mg(1), three equivalent Ce(1), and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing NiCe3Mg3Ni6 cuboctahedra.
CeMgNi4 is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms. All Mg(1)-Ce(1) bond lengths are 3.01 Å. All Mg(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.88 Å. Ce(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Mg(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms. All Ce(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.89 Å. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Mg(1), three equivalent Ce(1), and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing NiCe3Mg3Ni6 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.43 Å) and three longer (2.49 Å) Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths.
