In this work, we investigate the crystal structure, magnetic properties, and crystalline electric field of tetragonal,

I 4_{1} / a m d, Na Ce O_{2}

. In this compound,

{Ce}^{3 +}

ions form a tetragonally elongated diamond lattice coupled by antiferromagnetic interactions (

Θ_{CW} = - 7.69

K) that magnetically order below

T_{N} = 3.18

K. The

{Ce}^{3 +} J = 5 / 2

crystalline electric field-split multiplet is studied via inelastic neutron scattering to parametrize a

J_{eff} = 1 / 2

ground state doublet composed of states possessing mixed

| m_{z})

character. Neutron powder diffraction data reveal the onset of

A

-type antiferromagnetism with

μ = 0.57 (2) μ_{B}

moments aligned along the

c

axis. The magnetic structure is consistent with the expectations of a frustrated Heisenberg

J_{1} - J_{2}

model on the elongated diamond lattice with effective exchange values

J_{1} > 4 J_{2}

and

J_{1} > 0
