CeCo3Cu2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to twelve equivalent Co(1) and six equivalent Cu(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1), four equivalent Co(1), and four equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing CoCe4Co4Cu4 cuboctahedra. Cu(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1) and six equivalent Co(1) atoms.
