Al2Zn2Ce crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Zn(1) and eight equivalent Al(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1), one Zn(1), and four equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing AlCe4Zn4 tetrahedra.
