Mo3Si crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3n space group. Mo(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing SiMo12 cuboctahedra.
Mo3Si crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3n space group. Mo(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. Both Mo(1)-Mo(1) bond lengths are 2.44 Å. All Mo(1)-Si(1) bond lengths are 2.73 Å. Si(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Mo(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing SiMo12 cuboctahedra.
