YZnSi is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent Zn(1) and six equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing YZn6Si6 cuboctahedra. Zn(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Y(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to six equivalent Y(1) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms.
