CeIr2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ir(1) atoms. Ir(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ce(1) and six equivalent Ir(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing IrCe6Ir6 cuboctahedra.
