Ce2(MoO4)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(6) atoms. There are two inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(3), one O(5), and one O(6) atom. In the second Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to two equivalent O(2) and two equivalent O(4) atoms. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ce(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ce(1) and one Mo(2) atom.
