Ce4RuCd crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. There are three inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ru(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Ce site, Ce(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Ru(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the third Ce site, Ce(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ru(1) and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Ru(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1), three equivalent Ce(2), and three equivalent Ce(3) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ce(1), three equivalent Ce(2), three equivalent Ce(3), and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing CdCe9Cd3 cuboctahedra.
