The crystal structure described by NdPtSi is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1md space group. There are three inequivalent Nd sites. In the first Nd site, Nd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pt(1) and six equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing NdSi6Pt6 cuboctahedra. In the second Nd site, Nd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pt(1) and six equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing NdSi6Pt6 cuboctahedra. In the third Nd site, Nd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Pt(1) and six equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing NdSi6Pt6 cuboctahedra. Pt(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Nd(1,1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six Nd(1,1) and three equivalent Pt(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
