(Zn)12Ni4Si is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight Ni4Si clusters and thirty-two zinc molecules. In each Ni4Si cluster, Ni(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Si(1) atom. Si(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
