BaGe6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ge(1), six equivalent Ge(2), and six equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba(1), one Ge(1), one Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba(1), one Ge(2), one Ge(3), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba(1), one Ge(1), one Ge(3), and two equivalent Ge(2) atoms.
BaGe6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ge(1), six equivalent Ge(2), and six equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are two shorter (3.58 Å) and four longer (3.62 Å) Ba(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.38 Å) and four longer (3.62 Å) Ba(1)-Ge(2) bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.71 Å) and four longer (3.81 Å) Ba(1)-Ge(3) bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Ge sites.
