A new quaternary compound AlCeCo2Ni2 was synthesized and studied by means of X-ray powder diffraction technique. The powder pattern of AlCeCo2Ni2 was indexed and refined, giving a hexagonal structure, space group P6/mmm (No. 191) with the CaCu5 structure type. a = 4.9242(2) Å, c = 4.0524(1) Å, V = 85.1 Å3, Z = 1, ρx = 7.85 g cm−3, F30 = 130.2(0.010, 30), and RIR = 0.71(2).
