CeCuN2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent N(1) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing NCe4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-66°.
