Cr(H2O)6SiF6 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two chromium;hexahydrate molecules and two SiF6 clusters. In each SiF6 cluster, Si(1,2) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to one F(1), one F(11), one F(3), one F(5), one F(7), and one F(9) atom. There are six inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Si(1,2) atom. In the second F site, F(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Si(1,2) atom. In the third F site, F(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Si(1,2) atom. In the fourth F site, F(7) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Si(1,2) atom. In the fifth F site, F(9) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Si(1,2) atom. In the sixth F site, F(11) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Si(1,2) atom.
