V6SiC crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. V(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), two equivalent Si(1), and two equivalent C(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent V(1) atoms to form SiV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Si(1)V12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent C(1)V12 cuboctahedra. C(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent V(1) atoms to form CV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent C(1)V12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Si(1)V12 cuboctahedra.
V6SiC crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. V(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), two equivalent Si(1), and two equivalent C(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.22 Å) and one longer (2.35 Å) V(1)-V(1) bond length. Both V(1)-Si(1) bond lengths are 2.57 Å. Both V(1)-C(1) bond lengths are 2.54 Å. Si(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent V(1) atoms to form SiV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Si(1)V12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent C(1)V12 cuboctahedra. C(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent V(1) atoms to form CV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent C(1)V12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Si(1)V12 cuboctahedra.
