The material structure described by Ti2Ni3Si is Hexagonal Laves-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ti(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ti(1), nine equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ti(1), four equivalent Ni(1), and two equivalent Si(1) atoms to form NiTi6Si2Ni4 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent Si(1)Ti6Ni6 cuboctahedra, corners with fourteen equivalent Ni(1)Ti6Si2Ni4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Ni(1)Ti6Si2Ni4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Si(1)Ti6Ni6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Ni(1)Ti6Si2Ni4 cuboctahedra. Si(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ti(1) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form SiTi6Ni6 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ni(1)Ti6Si2Ni4 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent Si(1)Ti6Ni6 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent Si(1)Ti6Ni6 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen equivalent Ni(1)Ti6Si2Ni4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
