The structure described by U2Mn3Si crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. U(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent U(1), nine equivalent Mn(1), and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Mn(1) is bonded to six equivalent U(1), four equivalent Mn(1), and two equivalent Si(1) atoms to form distorted MnU6Mn4Si2 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Si(1)U6Mn6 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Mn(1)U6Mn4Si2 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Mn(1)U6Mn4Si2 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Si(1)U6Mn6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Mn(1)U6Mn4Si2 cuboctahedra. Si(1) is bonded to six equivalent U(1) and six equivalent Mn(1) atoms to form distorted SiU6Mn6 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Mn(1)U6Mn4Si2 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Si(1)U6Mn6 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent Si(1)U6Mn6 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen equivalent Mn(1)U6Mn4Si2 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
