CeCr2Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Cr(1) and eight equivalent Si(1) atoms. Cr(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ce(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, face, and edge-sharing CrCe4Si4 tetrahedra. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1), four equivalent Cr(1), and one Si(1) atom.
