LiSm3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Li(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Sm(1) atoms to form LiSm12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Li(1)Sm12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent Sm(1)Li4Sm8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Li(1)Sm12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Sm(1)Li4Sm8 cuboctahedra. Sm(1) is bonded to four equivalent Li(1) and eight equivalent Sm(1) atoms to form SmLi4Sm8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Sm(1)Li4Sm8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Li(1)Sm12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Sm(1)Li4Sm8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Li(1)Sm12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent Sm(1)Li4Sm8 cuboctahedra.
