The crystal structure described by ThCo9Si2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. Th(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and sixteen equivalent Co(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Th(1), eight equivalent Co(2), and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded to two equivalent Th(1), one Co(1), seven equivalent Co(2), and two equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing CoTh2Co8Si2 cuboctahedra. Si(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and eight equivalent Co(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
