The structure described by NdCo9Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and sixteen equivalent Co(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nd(1), eight equivalent Co(2), and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nd(1), one Co(1), seven equivalent Co(2), and two equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and eight equivalent Co(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
