CeRu2Al2B crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent B(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded to four equivalent Al(1) and two equivalent B(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing RuAl4B2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Al(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ru(1) atoms. B(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ce(1) and four equivalent Ru(1) atoms to form corner-sharing BCe2Ru4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
