The material structure described by LaNiSi is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1md space group. There are three inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded to six Ni(1,1) and six equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing LaSi6Ni6 cuboctahedra. In the second La site, La(1) is bonded to six Ni(1,1) and six equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing LaSi6Ni6 cuboctahedra. In the third La site, La(1) is bonded to six Ni(1,1) and six equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing LaSi6Ni6 cuboctahedra. There are three inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six La(1,1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six La(1,1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the third Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six La(1,1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six La(1,1) and three Ni(1,1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
