NdSi2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Si(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded to six equivalent Nd(1) and six equivalent Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing SiNd6Si6 cuboctahedra.
