The structure described by Li3Sm crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Li(1) and four equivalent Sm(1) atoms. Sm(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Li(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing SmLi12 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
