UPd2Ge2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. U(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd(1) and eight equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded to four equivalent U(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing PdU4Ge4 tetrahedra. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent U(1), four equivalent Pd(1), and one Ge(1) atom.
