The material described by MnNiSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Mn(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and five equivalent Si(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent Mn(1), two equivalent Ni(1), and four equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing NiMn6Si4Ni2 cuboctahedra. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Mn(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
