CeYNi4 is Cubic Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms. Y(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ce(1), three equivalent Y(1), and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing NiCe3Y3Ni6 cuboctahedra.
