Ce2Fe20Si2C crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to sixteen Fe and one C atom. There are a spread of Ce–Fe bond distances ranging from 3.07–3.48 Å. The Ce–C bond length is 2.63 Å. There are eleven inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce, ten Fe, and two Si atoms. There are a spread of Fe–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.61–2.73 Å. There are one shorter (2.58 Å) and one longer (2.65 Å) Fe–Si bond lengths. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce, nine Fe, and one Si atom. There are a spread of Fe–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.65 Å. The Fe–Si bond length is 2.41 Å. In the third Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce, eight Fe, and two Si atoms. There are a spread of Fe–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.63 Å. There are one shorter (2.41 Å) and one longer (2.42 Å) Fe–Si bond lengths. In the fourth Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce, nine Fe, and one Si atom. There are a spread of Fe–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.69 Å. The Fe–Si bond length is 2.40 Å. In the fifth Fe site, Fe is bonded to two equivalent Ce and ten Fe atoms to form distorted FeCe2Fe10 cuboctahedra that share corners with three FeCe2Fe10 cuboctahedra, corners with two equivalent CCe2Fe4 octahedra, an edgeedge with one CCe2Fe4 octahedra, and faces with two FeCe2Fe10 cuboctahedra.
