Ce2WC2 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent C(1) and two equivalent C(2) atoms. W(1) is bonded to two equivalent C(1) and two equivalent C(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing WC4 trigonal pyramids. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1) and two equivalent W(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CCe4W2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 51-52°. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1) and two equivalent W(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CCe4W2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 32-52°.
Ce2WC2 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent C(1) and two equivalent C(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.52 Å) and one longer (2.57 Å) Ce(1)-C(1) bond length. Both Ce(1)-C(2) bond lengths are 2.64 Å. W(1) is bonded to two equivalent C(1) and two equivalent C(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing WC4 trigonal pyramids. Both W(1)-C(1) bond lengths are 2.08 Å.
