Ce2Pt2Cd crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. There are two inequivalent Ce sites. In the first Ce site, Ce(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pt(1), four equivalent Pt(2), and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Ce site, Ce(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pt(2), four equivalent Pt(1), and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(1), four equivalent Ce(2), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Pt site, Pt(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce(2), four equivalent Ce(1), one Pt(2), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1), four equivalent Ce(2), two equivalent Pt(1), and two equivalent Pt(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CdCe8Pt4 cuboctahedra.
