LiEu2CN2I3 crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent I(1) atoms to form corner-sharing LiI6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 46°. Eu(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent N(1) and six equivalent I(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Eu(1) and one C(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NEu3C tetrahedra. I(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and four equivalent Eu(1) atoms.
