The structure described by SmCoSi3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4mm space group. Sm(1) is bonded in a 17-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Co(1), four equivalent Si(2), and eight equivalent Si(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sm(1), one Si(2), and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm(1), two equivalent Co(1), and two equivalent Si(2) atoms. In the second Si site, Si(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm(1), one Co(1), and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
