The material structure described by Y2Cu3Si is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmm2 space group. There are two inequivalent Y sites. In the first Y site, Y(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cu(3), four equivalent Cu(1), four equivalent Cu(2), and two equivalent Si(1) atoms to form YCu10Si2 cuboctahedra that share edges with four equivalent Y(1)Cu10Si2 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Y(2)Cu8Si4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Y(1)Cu10Si2 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent Y(2)Cu8Si4 cuboctahedra. In the second Y site, Y(2) is bonded to two equivalent Cu(1), two equivalent Cu(2), four equivalent Cu(3), and four equivalent Si(1) atoms to form YCu8Si4 cuboctahedra that share edges with four equivalent Y(2)Cu8Si4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Y(1)Cu10Si2 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Y(1)Cu10Si2 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent Y(2)Cu8Si4 cuboctahedra. There are three inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y(2), four equivalent Y(1), one Cu(2), and two equivalent Cu(3) atoms. In the second Cu site, Cu(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y(2), four equivalent Y(1), one Cu(1), and two equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the third Cu site, Cu(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y(1), four equivalent Y(2), two equivalent Cu(1), and one Si(1) atom. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y(1), four equivalent Y(2), one Cu(3), and two equivalent Cu(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
