Ce2C3 is Plutonium carbide structured and crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1) and one C(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CCe4C trigonal bipyramids.
Ce2C3 is Plutonium carbide structured and crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent C(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.54 Å) and three longer (2.69 Å) Ce(1)-C(1) bond lengths. C(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1) and one C(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CCe4C trigonal bipyramids. The C(1)-C(1) bond length is 1.37 Å.
