V6SnSi crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. V(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), two equivalent Sn(1), and two equivalent Si(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent V(1) atoms to form SnV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Sn(1)V12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Si(1)V12 cuboctahedra. Si(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent V(1) atoms to form SiV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Si(1)V12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Sn(1)V12 cuboctahedra.
V6SnSi crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. V(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1), two equivalent Sn(1), and two equivalent Si(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.27 Å) and one longer (2.57 Å) V(1)-V(1) bond length. Both V(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths are 2.74 Å. Both V(1)-Si(1) bond lengths are 2.67 Å. Sn(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent V(1) atoms to form SnV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Sn(1)V12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Si(1)V12 cuboctahedra. Si(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent V(1) atoms to form SiV12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent Si(1)V12 cuboctahedra and faces with eight equivalent Sn(1)V12 cuboctahedra.
