Here we used single-crystal X-ray diffraction data to determine crystal structure of CsCe₂Cl₇. It crystallizes in a P112₁/b space group with a = 19.352(1) Å, b = 19.352(1) Å, c = 14.838(1) Å, γ = 119.87(2) ° , and V = 4818.6(5) Å³. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements combined with the structural evolution of CsCe₂Cl₇ via X-ray diffractometry over a temperature range from room temperature to the melting point indicates no obvious intermediate solid-solid phase transitions. The anisotropy in the average linear coefficient of thermal expansion of the a axis (21.3 10^-6/ °C) with respect to the b and c axes (27.0 10^-6/ °C) was determined through lattice parameter refinement of the temperature dependent diffraction patterns. Lastly, these findings suggest that the reported cracking behavior during melt growth of CsCe₂Cl₇ bulk crystals using conventional Bridgman and Czochralski techniques may be largely attributed to the anisotropy in thermal expansion.
