EuGe2 is hexagonal omega structure structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. Eu(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing EuGe12 cuboctahedra. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Eu(1) and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms.
EuGe2 is hexagonal omega structure structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. Eu(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing EuGe12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.26 Å) and six longer (3.35 Å) Eu(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Eu(1) and three equivalent Ge(1) atoms. All Ge(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.52 Å.
