CeNiSn is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ce(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ni(1) and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing CeNi6Sn6 cuboctahedra. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ce(1) and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
