Nb3Ge crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3n space group. Nb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing GeNb12 cuboctahedra.
Nb3Ge crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3n space group. Nb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb(1) and four equivalent Ge(1) atoms. Both Nb(1)-Nb(1) bond lengths are 2.59 Å. All Nb(1)-Ge(1) bond lengths are 2.89 Å. Ge(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Nb(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing GeNb12 cuboctahedra.
