Ce2Ge2In crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mbm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent In(1) and six equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Ce(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and corner-sharing InCe8Ge4 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1), two equivalent In(1), and one Ge(1) atom.
