Cr3Si crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3n space group. Cr(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cr(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cr(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing SiCr12 cuboctahedra.
Cr3Si crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3n space group. Cr(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cr(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. Both Cr(1)-Cr(1) bond lengths are 2.24 Å. All Cr(1)-Si(1) bond lengths are 2.51 Å. Si(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cr(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing SiCr12 cuboctahedra.
