Ce4Bi3 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. Ce(1) is bonded to six equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing CeBi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 18-49°. Bi(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Ce(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing BiCe8 hexagonal bipyramids.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 18-49°. There are three shorter (3.28 Å) and three longer (3.51 Å) Ce(1)-Bi(1) bond lengths. Bi(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Ce(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing BiCe8 hexagonal bipyramids.
