LaCrGe3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. La(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Cr(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form face-sharing CrGe6 octahedra. Ge(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1), two equivalent Cr(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms.
LaCrGe3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. La(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ge(1) atoms. There are six shorter (3.10 Å) and six longer (3.33 Å) La(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths. Cr(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form face-sharing CrGe6 octahedra. All Cr(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.56 Å. Ge(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1), two equivalent Cr(1), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Both Ge(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.57 Å.
