CeAsS crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent As(1) and five equivalent S(1) atoms. As(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and two equivalent As(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded to five equivalent Ce(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SCe5 trigonal bipyramids.
