V3Cr3Si2 crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. V(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cr(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. Cr(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded to six equivalent V(1) and six equivalent Cr(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing SiV6Cr6 cuboctahedra.
V3Cr3Si2 crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. V(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cr(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms. Both V(1)-Cr(1) bond lengths are 2.29 Å. There are two shorter (2.55 Å) and two longer (2.56 Å) V(1)-Si(1) bond lengths. Cr(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V(1) and four equivalent Si(1) atoms.
