The structure described by Y(NiSi)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ni(1) and eight equivalent Si(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y(1), four equivalent Ni(1), and one Si(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
