CeN2(O3Cl2)2(C4N)2 is Fluorite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4m2 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four tetramethylammonium molecules and two CeN2(O3Cl2)2 clusters. In each CeN2(O3Cl2)2 cluster, Ce(1) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal bipyramidal geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. N(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(2) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ce(1) and one N(3) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N(3) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ce(1) atom.
