The material structure described by Pd5SnSi crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Pd(2) and four equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form PdSn4Pd8 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Pd(1)Sn4Pd8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Pd(1)Sn4Pd8 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent Sn(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1), two equivalent Sn(1), and two equivalent Si(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pd(1) and eight equivalent Pd(2) atoms to form SnPd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Sn(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Pd(1)Sn4Pd8 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent Sn(1)Pd12 cuboctahedra. Si(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Pd(2) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
