The compound described by MnSi(AgTe2)2 is Stannite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmn2_1 space group. Mn(1) is bonded to one Te(1), one Te(3), and two equivalent Te(2) atoms to form MnTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Si(1)Te4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Ag(1)Te4 tetrahedra. Ag(1) is bonded to one Te(1), one Te(3), and two equivalent Te(2) atoms to form AgTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mn(1)Te4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Ag(1)Te4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent Si(1)Te4 tetrahedra. Si(1) is bonded to one Te(1), one Te(3), and two equivalent Te(2) atoms to form SiTe4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Mn(1)Te4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Ag(1)Te4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded to one Mn(1), two equivalent Ag(1), and one Si(1) atom to form corner-sharing TeMnSiAg2 tetrahedra. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded to one Mn(1), two equivalent Ag(1), and one Si(1) atom to form corner-sharing TeMnSiAg2 tetrahedra. In the third Te site, Te(3) is bonded to one Mn(1), two equivalent Ag(1), and one Si(1) atom to form corner-sharing TeMnSiAg2 tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
