The structure described by Th2NiSi3 is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. Th(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ni(1), three equivalent Si(1), three equivalent Si(2), and three equivalent Si(3) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing ThSi9Ni3 cuboctahedra. Ni(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Th(1) and three equivalent Si(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Th(1) and three equivalent Si(3) atoms. In the second Si site, Si(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Th(1) and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms. In the third Si site, Si(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Th(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
