Ni2ZnSi crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Ni(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Zn(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and edge-sharing ZnNi8 cuboctahedra. Si(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
