Ag2GeO3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. There are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. In the second Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one O(2), one O(3), and two equivalent O(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing GeO4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Ag(1), two equivalent Ag(2), and one Ge(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OAg3Ge tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ag(1), one Ag(2), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to one Ag(2), two equivalent Ag(1), and one Ge(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OAg3Ge tetrahedra.

In the first Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. The Ag(1)-O(1) bond length is 2.19 Å. The Ag(1)-O(2) bond length is 2.64 Å. There is one shorter (2.14 Å) and one longer (2.46 Å) Ag(1)-O(3) bond length. In the second Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one O(2), one O(3), and two equivalent O(1) atoms. The Ag(2)-O(2) bond length is 2.69 Å. The Ag(2)-O(3) bond length is 2.51 Å. There is one shorter (2.29 Å) and one longer (2.30 Å) Ag(2)-O(1) bond length. Ge(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing GeO4 tetrahedra. The Ge(1)-O(1) bond length is 1.75 Å. The Ge(1)-O(3) bond length is 1.73 Å. Both Ge(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.79 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Ag(1), two equivalent Ag(2), and one Ge(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OAg3Ge tetrahedra.
