X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments revealed that hexagonal IrSi (space group ) transforms into trigonal LiIrSi (space group ) upon lithium absorption. The structure of LiIrSi is found to consist of a planar kagome network of silicon atoms with Li and Ir spaced at unequal distances between the kagome layers, resulting in a polar structure along the c-axis. LiIrSi exhibited type-II superconductivity with a transition temperature of 3.8 K, displaying a structure type that no previous superconductors have been reported to have.
