BaSi2 crystallizes in the cubic P4_332 space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms.
BaSi2 crystallizes in the cubic P4_332 space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Si(1) atoms. There are six shorter (3.41 Å) and two longer (3.42 Å) Ba(1)-Si(1) bond lengths. Si(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and three equivalent Si(1) atoms. All Si(1)-Si(1) bond lengths are 2.46 Å.
